DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar symbols represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and are used to interpret the present application, but should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a garment care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 2 is an internal structural schematic diagram of a garment care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a care system and a hanger of a garment care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 4 is an exploded view of FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, a garment care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application includes a main body, the main body includes a care box 100 and a door 130, the care box 100 includes a box shell 110 and a liner 120 provided inside the box shell 110. The door 130 is hinged to the box shell 110, and the door 130 and the liner 120 form a closed care space 150, which is used to accommodate a garment 160, and may be a rectangular space, a cylindrical space, etc. The door 130 can be opened relative to the liner 120 to expose the care space 150, and the garment 160 can be placed in the care space 150.

[0027] In a specific implementation, the care box 100 is a rectangular box with an open front, and the door 130 is attached to the front side of the care box 100. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the orientation term "front" refers to the side facing the user, i.e., the side facing the door 130, and the orientation term "rear" refers to the side facing the door 130. Here, the front side of the liner 120 coincides with the front side of the care box 100, the rear side of the liner 120 coincides with the rear side of the care box 100, and the height of the liner 120 or the height direction of the clothing care machine coincides with the vertical direction.

[0028] The garment care machine provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes a hanger 200 and a care system, and the care system includes a liquid supply unit 300, an air supply unit 400 and a rotation unit 500. Here, the air supply unit 400 can include a first air supply component 410 and a second air supply component 420. The hanger 200 is attached to the top of the liner 120 of the care box 100, and the hanger 200 plays a role in supporting the garment 160. The liquid supply unit 300 sprays mist water into the inside of the garment 160 through the hanger 200 to remove wrinkles and shape the garment 160. The second air supply component 420 supplies a circulatable airflow (e.g., hot air, cold steam or hot steam) into the liner 120. The first air supply component 410 supplies a circulatable airflow (e.g., hot air, cold steam or hot steam) into the inside of the garment 160 through the hanger 200. The circulation of the airflow removes wrinkles, heats, deodorizes, etc. from the garment. A volatile care agent can be added into the first air supply component 410 and / or the second air supply component 420. The care agent dissolves in steam and enters the liner 120, and is sprayed onto the garment 160 as the airflow circulates, further caring for the garment 160. The rotating unit 500 can move the hanger 200 to swing back and forth to improve the care effect.

[0029] In the present application, a mounting space 140 is formed between the inner wall of the box shell 110 and the outer wall of the liner 120, the lower part of the mounting space 140 may be used to mount the liquid supply unit 300 and the second air supply component 420, and the upper part of the mounting space 140 may be used to accommodate the rotation unit 500 and the first air supply component 410, i.e., the rotation unit 500 and the first air supply component 410 are located between the upper part of the liner 120 and the inner upper wall of the box shell 110. Or, the rotation unit 500 is located at the inner upper part of the liner 120.

[0030] A structural connection method between the liquid supply unit 300, the air supply unit 400, the rotation unit 500 and the hanger 200 will be described below.

[0031] 1 to 4, the liquid supply unit 300 in the present application may include a purified water tank 310, a water supply pump 320, and a first water supply pipe 330, and the water supply end of the water supply pump 320 communicates with the purified water tank 310-310 via the first water supply pipe 330, and the water discharge end of the water supply pump 320 communicates with the hanger 200 via the second water supply pipe 340. The water supply pump 320 draws water from the purified water tank 310 into the hanger 200.

[0032] In a specific implementation, the second air supply component 420, the water purification tank 310 and the water supply pump 320 can be located below the liner 120, and the first air supply component 410 and the rotation unit 500 can be located above the liner 120. Here, the rotation unit 500 can be located above the first air supply component 410, but in this manner, the effective utilization rate of the liner 120 is not increased, but the height of the entire garment care machine is increased. Alternatively, the rotation unit 500 is located inside the liner 120, and thus the effective utilization rate of the liner 120 is reduced because the rotation unit 500 occupies a space in the height direction of the liner 120.

[0033] FIG. 5 is an exploded view of a portion of the air supply unit in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 6 is a partial enlargement of portion A in FIG. 2, FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of section BB in FIG. 3, FIG. 8 is a partial enlargement of portion C in FIG. 2, FIG. 9 is a structural schematic diagram of the storage cavity partition housing in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 10 is a structural schematic diagram of the lower housing of a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 11 is a structural schematic diagram of the air guide housing of a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of section DD in FIG. 11, FIG. 13 is a structural schematic diagram of a hanger of a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 14 is a structural schematic diagram of the hanger of a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application from another angle. Based on this and referring to Figures 1 to 14, in some embodiments, the air supply unit 400 includes an air supply box 440, the first air supply component 410 is located within the air supply box 440, and the air supply box 440 has an airflow circulation channel communicating with the liner 120 such that airflow circulates between the liner 120 and the air supply box 440.

[0034] Specifically, both the rotating unit 500 and the first air supply component 410 are located in the main body, the rotating unit 500 and a part of the air supply box 440 are located above the liner 120, the first air supply component 410 is located on the side of the rotating unit 500, and a part of the rotating unit 500 is inserted into the airflow circulation channel. Here, the other part of the air supply box 440 may be located in the liner 120 or on the side of the liner 120. The part of the air supply box 440 located in the liner 120 can be located on the rear side of the liner 120, that is, when the hanger 200 is hung in the liner 120, the part of the air supply box 440 located in the liner 120 and the hanger 200 are arranged side by side from the front side to the rear side of the liner 120, thus, the part of the air supply box 440 occupies the space in the front and rear directions of the liner 120, but does not occupy the space in the height direction of the liner 120, and does not affect the swing of the hanger 200.

[0035] In the present application, the rotation unit 500 and a part of the air supply box 440 are arranged above the liner 120, the first air supply component 410 is arranged on the side of the rotation unit 500, and a part of the rotation unit 500 is inserted into the air circulation channel, so that the rotation unit 500 overlaps with the air supply unit 400, thereby not occupying the vertical space of the liner 120, and thus the overall vertical space of the clothing care machine occupied by the rotation unit 500 and the air supply unit 400 is reduced.

[0036] Continuing to refer to Figures 5 to 7, in a specific implementation, the air supply box 440 includes a lower housing 441 and an upper housing 442 covering the lower housing 441, the upper housing 442 and the lower housing 441 enclose an air supply unit accommodating cavity, the air supply unit accommodating cavity has a first cavity chamber 442 and a second cavity chamber 444 communicating with the first cavity chamber 443, the first air supply component 410 is located 410 in the first cavity chamber 443, a portion of the lower housing 441 extends into the liner 120, and a portion of the rotating unit 500 is inserted into the second cavity chamber 444.

[0037] It should be explained that there is no strict boundary between the first cavity chamber 443 and the second cavity chamber 444, and the first cavity chamber 443 and the second cavity chamber 444 are simply two different areas in the air supply unit accommodating cavity used to accommodate the first air supply component 410 and part of the rotation unit 500, respectively.

[0038] 1 to 7 and 10, specifically, the upper housing 442 may be plate-shaped, and the lower housing 441 may include a lower housing bottom wall 4411 and a lower housing side wall 4412, and the lower housing side wall 4412 is surrounded by the outer periphery of the lower housing bottom wall 4411 and closed, where the upper end or upper part of the lower housing side wall 4412 is connected to the upper housing 442, and the lower end or lower part of the lower housing 4412 is connected to the lower housing bottom wall 4411. The lower housing bottom wall 4411 faces the liner 120, and the lower housing bottom wall 4411 has a flat portion 4413 and a lower housing extension portion 4414 connected to the flat portion 4413, and the lower housing extension portion 4414 is located within the liner 120 and faces the rear side of the liner 120.

[0039] Here, a part of the upper wall of the liner 120 may be provided open, in other words, a lower housing mounting hole is provided in a part of the upper wall of the liner 120, and the lower housing bottom wall 4411 is fitted into the lower housing mounting hole, thereby sealing the upper wall of the liner 120. That is, the lower housing bottom wall 4411 functions as a part of the upper wall of the liner 120. In this way, by directly opening a through hole in the lower housing bottom wall 4411, communication between the liner 120 and the air supply unit accommodating cavity can be realized.

[0040] In a specific implementation, the flat portion 4413 has a lower housing exhaust port 4415, and the lower housing extension portion 4414 has a lower housing return port 4416, where the lower housing exhaust port 4415 and the lower housing return port 4416 are used to communicate the air supply unit accommodating cavity with the liner 120, and the lower housing exhaust port 4415, the lower housing return port 4416 and the air supply unit accommodating cavity jointly form an airflow circulation channel. Here, the lower housing exhaust port 4415 faces the second cavity chamber 444, and the lower housing return port 4416 faces the first cavity chamber 443.

[0041] Illustratively, the lower housing air outlet 4415, the lower housing return air outlet 4416 and the air supply unit receiving cavity collectively form an air circulation channel for air circulation between the liner 120 and the air supply box 440. This air circulation may be called auxiliary air circulation and is mainly powered by the first air supply component 410. The garment care machine further has a main air circulation which is mainly powered by the second air supply component 420.

[0042] The air circulation method within the liner 120 will be described below in combination with the structures of the first air supply component 410 and the second air supply component 420.

[0043] The first air supply component 410 may include a first blower 411 and a heater 412, and the heater 412 is located between the first blower 411 and the upper housing 442. Here, the heater 412 is used to heat the gas, and may be a PTC heater, a pulley heater, etc. The first blower 411 generates negative pressure to circulate the airflow, and continuously draws the airflow in the liner 120 into the first cavity chamber 443 of the air supply unit accommodating cavity through the lower housing 4416, and the airflow is heated by the heater 412 and blown into the second cavity chamber 444, and then blown into the liner 120 through the lower housing exhaust port 4415. Here, the number of the lower housing return air port 4416 may be multiple, and the lower housing return air port 4416 is provided in a lattice shape to prevent users, especially children's fingers, from entering the air supply unit accommodating cavity.

[0044] The first air supply component 410 heats the airflow in the air supply unit receiving cavity, and in the drying mode of the clothes care machine, the first air supply component 410 outputs hot air, which can accelerate the evaporation of moisture in the upper half of the clothes 160 and increase the drying speed of the clothes 160. At the same time, in the state of steam care, the water vapor molecules output by the second air supply component 420 at the bottom can be heated and evaporated for a second time, and then transported to the outer surface and the inside of the clothes 160 by the action of the first blower 411, so that the water vapor permeability of the second evaporated water vapor is stronger and the care effect is better.

[0045] In one possible embodiment, the air supply unit 400 is in an external circulation drying mode, at which time the care box 100 is also provided with two air vents communicating with the external environment, one of which is used to exhaust hot and humid gas and the other is used to pass dry, cool gas, which circulates in this way to dry the clothes 160 in the liner 120.

[0046] 2 to 8, in another possible embodiment, the air supply unit 400 is in an internal circulation drying mode, at which time the air supply unit 400 further includes a second air supply component 420, which is used to condense water vapor in the liner 120 to form condensed water to dry the clothes. Here, the second air supply component 420 is mounted in the mounting space 140 at the bottom of the care box 100, and the return air port 421 and the exhaust port 422 of the second air supply component 420 are provided on the bottom wall of the care box 100. In this way, the first air supply component 410 and the second air supply component 420 are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the care box 100 to dry the clothes 160, which is helpful to improve the drying efficiency, especially for long coats, cotton coats, etc.

[0047] Here, the second air supply component 420 includes a compressor 425, an evaporator 426, a condenser 423 and a second blower 424. The drying principle of the second air supply component 420 provided by the embodiment of the present application is as follows: The second blower 424 rotates to generate a negative pressure area, so that the moist and cold gas in the care space 150 enters the mounting space 140 at the bottom of the care box 100 through the return air port 421, and the refrigerant becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure gas through the action of the compressor 425. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas dissipates heat in the condenser 423, and the refrigerant becomes a low-temperature liquid. The heat dissipated heat heats the moist and cold gas to form a high-temperature and humid gas. When the low-temperature liquid refrigerant passes through the evaporator 426, it exchanges heat with the high-temperature and humid gas, and the moisture in the gas is condensed in the evaporator 426 to become condensed water, which is stored in the condensed water tank, and the refrigerant in the evaporator 426 is heated and circulated to the compressor 425, and the high-temperature and humid gas becomes a dry gas after heat exchange, and is discharged into the liner 120 through the exhaust port 422, thus drying the clothes in the liner 120 back and forth.

[0048] Continuing to refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 14, the structure of the airflow circulation channel will now be described.

[0049] In the present application, the airflow circulation channel includes a main airflow channel 450, a liner airflow channel 460, and at least one hanger airflow channel 430, and each of the hanger airflow channels 430 and the liner airflow channel 460 communicates with the main airflow channel 450, and each of the hanger airflow channels 430 and the liner airflow channel 460 is separated from each other. That is, each of the hanger airflow channels 430 is separated from each other and may not communicate with each other. Each of the hanger airflow channels 430 is separated from each other and may not communicate with the liner airflow channel 460.

[0050] The main airflow channel 450 corresponds to the first cavity chamber 443 , the hanger airflow channel 430 and the liner airflow channel 460 correspond to the second cavity chamber 444 , and a portion of the rotating unit 500 is inserted into the hanger airflow channel 430 .

[0051] Each hanger airflow channel 430 is spaced apart from each liner airflow channel 460. In some embodiments, the air supply box 440 further includes a receiving cavity partition housing 445 located within the air supply unit receiving cavity, the receiving cavity partition housing 445 having a first cavity body 4451 and a second cavity body 445 adjacent to the first cavity body 4451, the first air supply component 410 is located within the first cavity body 4451, the first cavity body 4451 is located within the first cavity chamber 443, and the second cavity body 4452 is located within the second cavity chamber 444.

[0052] In a specific implementation, the first cavity body 4451 and the second cavity body 4452 have openings on both sides from the upper housing 442 to the lower housing 441, so that the airflow flows from the top of the first cavity body 4451 to the top of the second cavity body 4452, thereby entering the second cavity chamber 4452.

[0053] Specifically, the first air supply component 410 further has an air supply component fixing base 413, and both the heater 412 and the first blower 411 are located in the air supply component fixing base 413, and the air supply component fixing base 413 may be located in a first cavity body 4451, one end of the first cavity body 4451 is connected to the first cavity body 4451, and the other end of the first cavity body 4451 is connected to the second cavity body 4452, so that the airflow flows from the upper part of the first cavity body 4451 to the upper part of the second cavity body 4452. There are at least two insulating sleeves 4121 on the outer circumferential side of the heater 412, and there are mounting notches 4423 on the side facing the upper housing 442 of the first cavity body 4451. The insulating sleeves 4121 are inserted into the mounting notches 4423 to fix the heater 412 in the first cavity body 4451, and the insulating sleeves 4121 play a role in insulation, preventing the heat generated by the heater 412 from being transmitted to the upper housing 442 and the lower housing 441 through the accommodating cavity partition housing 445.

[0054] In some embodiments, the rotating unit 500 has at least one rotating shaft 510 that can rotate around its own axis, the rotating shaft 510 is inserted into the hanger airflow channel 430 and is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the hanger airflow channel 430, the inner wall of the lower housing 441 has at least one closed retaining ring 4417 extending into the second cavity body 4452, the lower housing exhaust port 4415 includes at least one inner exhaust port 4418, the retaining ring 4417 is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the inner exhaust port 4418, the inner wall of the retaining ring 4417 and the inner exhaust port 4418 jointly form the hanger airflow channel 430, the inner exhaust port 4418 has a support portion 4419, the rotating shaft 510 abuts against the support portion 4419, and a portion of the rotating shaft 510 extends through the support portion 4419 into the liner 120.

[0055] There is a gap between the inner wall of the second cavity body 4452 and the outer wall of the retaining ring 4417, and the lower housing exhaust port 4415 includes at least one outer exhaust port 4420, and the inner wall of the second cavity body 4452, a portion of the inner bottom wall of the lower housing 441, the outer wall of the retaining ring 4417 and the outer exhaust port 4420 jointly form a liner airflow channel 460, which is arranged around the hanger airflow channel 430.

[0056] In a specific implementation, the retaining ring 4417 may be a circular ring or a rectangular ring. One retaining ring 4417 corresponds to one inner exhaust port 4418, and the inner wall of the retaining ring 4417 and the inner exhaust port 4418 facing the retaining ring 4417 jointly form a hanger airflow channel 430, and one rotating shaft 510 is connected to one hanger 200, and one hanger 200 corresponds to one hanger airflow channel 430. At the bottom of the hanger 200, there is at least one hanger exhaust port 230, and at the top of the hanger 200, there is a hanger air inlet 210, which faces the inner exhaust port 4418 and communicates with the inner exhaust port 4418. In this way, part of the airflow enters the hanger air inlet 210 through the inner exhaust port 4418 of the hanger airflow channel 430, then flows through the hanger exhaust port 230 to the inside of the garment 160 on the hanger 200 (the airflow direction is shown by the solid arrow in Figures 6 and 7), and another part of the airflow enters the liner 120 through the liner airflow channel 460 and flows to the outside of the garment in the liner 120 (the airflow direction is shown by the dotted arrow in Figures 6 and 7), thereby simultaneously caring for the inside and outside of the garment 160 and improving the care effect of the garment.

[0057] Continuing to refer to Figures 5, 6, 9 to 14, the liner guides the airflow channel 460. In some embodiments, the air supply box 440 further includes an air guide housing 446, which is located between the receiving cavity partition housing 445 and the lower housing 441, and the air guide housing 446 has at least one mounting hole 4461, which is provided in one-to-one correspondence with the retaining ring 4417, and the mounting hole 4461 is drilled in the retaining ring 4417, and the inner wall of the mounting hole 4461 abuts against the outer wall of the retaining ring 4417.

[0058] The air guide housing 446 has a number of air guide grooves 4462, and the airflow in the gap passes through the air guide grooves 4462 and the outer exhaust port 4420 in sequence to enter the liner 120. The air guide grooves 4462 can converge the airflow entering the liner airflow channel 460, so that the airflow entering the liner 120 can be more concentrated and the spray distance can be longer.

[0059] In a specific implementation, the air guide grooves 4462 are arranged in a rectangular array, the mounting holes 4461 are located between two adjacent rows of air guide grooves 4462, the extension direction of the air guide grooves 4462 coincides with the arrangement direction of each air guide groove 4462, and an air guide member 4463 is provided on at least one side of the extension direction of the air guide grooves 4462, and the air guide member 4463 is inclined toward the outside of the air guide groove 4462, so that a one-sided or two-sided air guide for the air guide groove 4462 may be formed.

[0060] Here, the angle E between air guide member 4463 and a vertical plane extending in the extension direction of air guide groove 4462 is 15° to 45°. This makes processing easier and provides air guide groove 4462 with a high air guide effect.

[0061] In one embodiment, the clothing care machine further includes a temperature detection element 800 and a lighting module 900, where the temperature detection element 800 is located in the first cavity chamber 443, and the temperature detection element 800 may be electrically connected to an integrated controller in the clothing care machine. The temperature detection element 800 detects the temperature in the first cavity chamber 443, and when the temperature in the first cavity chamber 443 is below a preset temperature value, it can select to turn off the first air supply component 410 and only turn on the second air supply component 420, thereby reducing energy waste; when the temperature in the first cavity chamber 443 is higher than the preset temperature value, the first air supply component 410 and the second air supply component 420 are turned on to ensure the care effect of the clothing 160.

[0062] The light module 900 is used to provide light to the liner 120, the light module 900 is located within the liner 120, and the light module 900 is connected to the lower housing extension 4414. The light emitting surface of the light module 900 faces the garment 160, and when the door 130 is opened, the light module 900 may be simultaneously turned on.

[0063] Between the upper housing 442 and the receiving cavity partition housing 445 is a housing seal ring 470 which prevents airflow from escaping through the gap between the upper housing 442 and the receiving cavity partition housing 445 .

[0064] The upper housing 442 has at least one rotating shaft support hole 4421 , into which a rotating shaft shock absorbing ring 4422 is fitted, and the rotating shaft 510 is inserted into the hanger airflow channel 430 via the rotating shaft shock absorbing ring 4422 .

[0065] FIG. 15 is an exploded view of a rotation unit in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 16 is a structural schematic diagram of a portion of a rotation unit in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 17 is a top view of a portion of a rotation unit in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of the F-F section of FIG. 17, FIG. 19 is a structural schematic diagram of a first state of the rotation unit in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 20 is a structural schematic diagram of a second state of the rotation unit in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 21 is a structural schematic diagram of a rotation unit in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 22 is an exploded view of the rotating shaft components in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application; FIG. 23 is a schematic diagram of the swing lever in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application; FIG. 24 is a schematic diagram of the slider in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application; FIG. 25 is a schematic configuration diagram of the crank in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application; FIG. 26 is a schematic diagram of the drive turntable in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application; and FIG. 27 is a schematic diagram of the rotating shaft in a clothing care machine provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0066] 1 to 27, in the present application, the rotation unit 500 can move the hanger 200 to swing back and forth, and when the operation of the garment care machine is completed or the swing process is paused, the swing of the hanger 200 immediately stops, and if a certain amount of deflection is formed between the hanger 200 and the main body at this time, it becomes difficult to smoothly remove the hanger 200 from the main body. That is, the hanger 200 is in an inclined position as shown in FIG. 20 or FIG. 21, and since the space in the cabinet liner 120 is limited, the inclined hanger 200 occupies more space, making it difficult to smoothly remove the hanger 200 from the main body liner 120.

[0067] Based on this, in some embodiments, the garment care machine further includes a controller (not shown) and a detection component 700, and the rotation unit includes a driving member 520 and a swing structure 5, the swing structure 5 is used to connect the hanger 200, and the driving member 520 is connected to the swing structure 5, so that the swing structure 5 drives the hanger 200 to swing back and forth on both sides of the initial position.

[0068] Both the detection component 700 and the driving member 520 are electrically connected to a controller, and the detection component 700 is used to detect the position of the swing structure 5, and when the driving of the driving member 520 stops, the controller controls the driving member 520 to drive the swing structure 5 to return to a preset position so as to swing the hanger 200 to its initial position.

[0069] 19 is the initial position of the hanger 200, and when the door 130 is opened, the longitudinal direction of the hanger 200 faces perpendicularly to the user, making it easy for the user to take out the hanger 200 from the liner 120. The position of the swing structure 5 in FIG. 19 is the preset position of the swing structure 5.

[0070] In a specific implementation, the swing structure 5 may be a swing structure such as a swing lever or a crank rocker, but this embodiment is not limited thereto. The detection component 700 can continuously detect the position of the swing structure 5, or can detect the position of the swing structure 5 only when the driving member 520 stops driving. As long as the driving member 520 stops driving, the controller controls the driving member 520 to drive the swing structure 5 to return to a preset position, so as to swing the hanger 200 to the initial position, so that after the driving member 520 stops, the longitudinal direction of the hanger 200 faces perpendicularly to the user, and maintains the initial position of FIG. 19, which makes it easy to remove the hanger 200 from the liner 120.

[0071] In a specific implementation, the detection component 700 may be connected to the rotation unit 500, and the garment 160 needs to be removed when the garment care machine is turned off or temporarily stopped, therefore, in this embodiment, the detection component 700 is used to detect the position of the swing structure 5 when the garment care machine is turned off or temporarily stopped, resulting in the driving member 520 stopping driving. In the process of the garment care machine normally caring for the garment 160, the detection component 700 does not need to detect the position of the swing structure 5, thereby avoiding the transition and wasteful use of the detection component 700, and improving the service life of the detection component 700.

[0072] Specifically, the detection component 700 includes a detection member 710 and a sensing member 720, where the detection member 710 is used to detect the sensing member 720, that is, the sensing member 720 may be sensed by the detection member 710, where when the swing structure 5 is in a preset position, the detection member 710 and the sensing member 720 are opposite to each other, where when the detection member 710 and the sensing member 720 are opposite to each other, the detection member 710 senses the sensing member 720, converts it into a sensing signal and transmits it to the controller, whereupon the controller controls the driving member 520 to stop driving so that the swing structure 5 is in a preset position.

[0073] Here, at least one of the detection member 710 and the sensing member 720 is located on the rotating unit 500 .

[0074] In a specific implementation, the sensing member 720 is a magnetic member, and the detection member 710 is a sensor or a proximity switch, for example, the sensing member 720 is a magnet, and the detection member 710 is a Hall sensor, which senses by magnetic attraction, making the sensing of the detection member 710 more sensitive.

[0075] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 27, in the present application, the swing structure 5 includes a connection component 530 and a turntable component 540 connected to the connection component 530, where the turntable component 540 includes a driving turntable 541 and at least one driven turntable 542 connected to the driving turntable 541, and both the driving turntable 541 and each driven turntable 542 may be used to connect the hanger 200.

[0076] The drive member 520 is used to drive the connecting component 530 to swing back and forth at a variable speed along a preset angle, and to move the drive turntable 541 to rotate back and forth at a variable speed about its axis along a preset angle, and each driven turntable 542 cooperates with the drive turntable 541 to rotate the driven turntable 542 back and forth at a variable speed about its axis.

[0077] Specifically, the driving member 520 may be a motor or a rotating cylinder, and the driving turntable 541 is moved to rotate reciprocally at a variable speed around its axis along a preset angle, and the driven turntable 542 is moved to rotate reciprocally at a variable speed around its axis along a preset angle, by the variable speed reciprocating swing of the driving member 520 itself, or by transmitting the rotation of the driving member 520 to the connecting component 530 and converting the rotational motion into a variable speed reciprocating swing through the connecting component 530. In this way, the hanger 200 connected to the driving turntable 541 and each of the driven turntables 542 can rotate reciprocally at a variable speed around a preset angle, and the hanger 200 has different acceleration during the swing process, which improves the swing effect of the clothes 160 and makes it easier to shake off foreign matter such as dust or lint attached to the clothes 160.

[0078] In this embodiment, the connection component 530 may be a swing guide rod component, which is connected to the driving member 520, and converts the rotational motion of the driving member 520 into a variable speed reciprocating swing. The fast return characteristic of the swing guide rod component realizes the variable speed movement of the hanger 200 at a preset angle, so that the garment 160 has different acceleration during the swing process, so that the garment 160 advances slowly during the twisting process and returns quickly, so that the garment 160 has better inertia during the twisting process, thereby achieving a higher twisting effect.

[0079] Continuing to refer to Figures 15 to 21, in a specific implementation, the swing guide rod component includes a swing lever 531, a slider 532, and a crank 533 connected to the slider 532, the swing lever 531 is connected to the driving turntable 541, the swing lever 531 has a swing lever chute 5311 extending along the extension direction of the swing lever 531, the slider 532 is inserted into the swing lever chute 5311, and the crank 533 is connected to the output shaft of the driving member 520, so that the driving member 520 drives the slider 532 to slide reciprocatingly into the swing lever chute 5311 by the crank 533, and the swing lever 531 moves the driving turntable 541 to rotate reciprocatingly at a variable speed along a preset angle around its axis.

[0080] In the present application, the driving member 520 moves the crank 533 connected thereto to rotate it around the axis of the output shaft of the driving member 520, and in the process of the crank 533 rotating once, the slider 532 is moved to slide back and forth along the extension direction of the swing lever chute 5311, and in the sliding process of the slider 532, the swing lever 531 is moved to move and slide between the maximum position on the left side of Figure 21, the initial position, and the maximum position on the right side of Figure 20, and due to the high-speed return characteristic in the return process of the swing lever 531, the driving turntable 541 is moved to rotate back and forth around its axis at a variable speed along a preset angle.

[0081] It should be explained that the preset angle may be determined according to the swing range of the swing lever 531. When the swing lever 531 is in the initial position (i.e., the angle of the swing lever 531 in FIG. 19 is 0°), the slider 532 is located at the first end of the extension direction of the swing lever chute 5311. As the slider 532 slides from the first end of the extension direction of the swing lever chute 5311 to the center of the swing lever chute 5311, the swing lever 531 swings to the maximum position on the left side of FIG. 21, at this time, there is a first included angle between the swing lever 531 and its initial position. As the slider 532 continues to slide, the slider 532 slides from the center of the swing lever chute 5311 to the other end of the extension direction of the swing lever chute 5311, and the swing lever 531 returns to the initial position. As the slider 532 continues to slide, the slider 532 slides from the second end in the extension direction of the swing lever chute 5311 to the center of the swing lever chute 5311, and the swing lever 531 swings to the maximum position on the right side of Figure 20, at this time, there is a second included angle between the swing lever 531 and its initial position. The sum of the first included angle and the second included angle is the preset angle, that is, the first included angle and the second included angle jointly constitute the preset angle.

[0082] It can be understood that the process in which the slider 532 slides from the center of the swing lever chute 5311 to the first end in the extension direction of the swing lever chute 5311, or the process in which the slider 532 slides from the center of the swing lever chute 5311 to the other end in the extension direction of the swing lever chute 5311, may be called the return of the swing lever 531.

[0083] In a specific implementation, a first end of the swing lever 531 may be connected to the driving turntable 541, thereby preventing the first end of the swing lever 531 from interfering with other members during the reciprocating variable speed swing process of the swing lever 531. A second end of the swing lever 531 is suspended in the air and can move freely.

[0084] In the present application, the swing guide rod component further includes a swing lever bracket 534, and the swing lever bracket 534 has a swing lever end chute 5341, and a part of the swing lever 531 is located within the swing lever end chute 5341 and moves along the extension direction of the swing lever end chute 5341. As a result, the second end of the swing lever 531, which is suspended in the air and freely movable, is supported by the swing lever end chute 5341, and the swing lever 531 can swing back and forth smoothly.

[0085] In one embodiment, the swing lever end chute 5341 is arc-shaped, and the central angle of the swing lever end chute 5341 is equal to or greater than a preset angle. The swing lever 531 swings within the extension range of the swing lever end chute 5341, and when the central angle of the swing lever end chute 5341 becomes equal to the preset angle, the swing lever 531 swings to the maximum position on the right side of FIG. 20, and a side surface of the second end of the swing lever 531 abuts against one end of the swing lever end chute 5341, and the swing lever 531 swings to the maximum position on the left side of FIG. 21, and a side surface of the second end of the swing lever 531 abuts against the other end of the swing lever end chute 5341, so that the swing range of the swing lever 531 is limited within the swing lever end chute 5341.

[0086] In one possible embodiment, the second end of the swing lever 531 extends to the swing lever end chute 5341 through a notch in the swing lever end chute 5341. At this time, a roller 5313 is provided on an end surface of the second end of the swing lever 531, and a wheel surface of the roller 5313 rolls and contacts a bottom portion of the swing lever end chute 5341, and / or a roller 5313 is provided on the swing lever 531, and the roller 5313 is close to the second end of the swing lever 531, and a wheel surface of the roller 5313 rolls and contacts at least one inner wall of the swing lever end chute 5341.

[0087] In a specific implementation, a roller mounting groove 5314 can be opened in the swing lever 531, the roller mounting groove 5314 is close to the second end of the swing lever 531, the roller 5313 is rollably connected to the roller mounting groove 5314, and the wheel surface of the roller mounting groove 5314 abuts between two opposing inner walls of the swing lever end chute 5341.

[0088] In another possible embodiment, the swing lever end chute 5341 may be a groove-like structure with a top and bottom wall connected, the second end of the swing lever 531 extends from the swing lever end chute 5341 through a notch and the bottom of the swing lever end chute 5341, and the swing lever 531 is provided with a roller 5313, which is close to the second end of the swing lever 531, and the wheel surface of the roller 5313 rolls and contacts at least one inner wall of the swing lever end chute 5341.

[0089] In order to facilitate the connection between the swing lever 531 and the driving turntable 541, in the present application, the swing lever 531 also has a swing lever connection part 5312, the swing lever connection part 4312 is fitted to the driving turntable 541 and is detachably connected to the driving turntable 541, and the swing lever chute 5311 is located between the swing lever connection part 5312 and the roller 5313. For example, the swing lever connection part 5312 has a lug sheet and a lug hole provided in the lug sheet, and correspondingly, the driving turntable 541 has a lug sheet and a lug hole provided in the lug sheet, and the screw passes through the lug hole of the swing lever connection part 5312 and the lug hole of the driving turntable 541 in sequence to connect the swing lever 531 and the driving turntable 541.

[0090] To facilitate mounting the turntable component 540, in some embodiments, the rotation unit 500 further includes a fixed frame 550, which has at least two turntable mounting holes 551 spaced apart from each other, and the driving turntable 541 and each of the driven turntables 542 are mounted in different turntable mounting holes 551, respectively. When the number of turntable mounting holes 551 is three or more, the driving turntable 541 is located in the turntable mounting hole 551 in the center of the fixed frame 550. Each of the driven turntables 542 is linked with the driving turntable 541, and by locating the driving turntable 541 in the center of each of the driven turntables 542, the force transmitted from the driving turntable 541 to each of the driven turntables 542 is made more uniform.

[0091] In this embodiment, the driving turntable 541 and each of the driven turntables 542 are connected through a connecting rod 535, so that the linkage between each of the driven turntables 542 and the driving turntable 541 can be realized. Specifically, the swing guide rod component includes a plurality of connecting rods 535, each of which is hinged in sequence from end to end to form two connecting rod groups, which are parallel to each other and located on opposite sides of the driving turntable 541, respectively.

[0092] Both ends of the connecting rods 535 in the same connecting rod group are hingedly connected to the adjacent driven turntable 542, respectively, or both ends of the connecting rods 535 in the same connecting rod group are hingedly connected to the adjacent driven turntable 542 and driving turntable 541, respectively.

[0093] The hinge points between the connecting rods 535 and the driving turntable 541 in the same connecting rod group overlap with the hinge points of two adjacent connecting rods 535, and the hinge points between the connecting rods 535 and the driven turntable 542 in the same connecting rod group overlap with the hinge points of two adjacent connecting rods 535.

[0094] For ease of explanation, the present embodiment and drawings will be described with reference to a case where the number of connecting rods 535 is four and the number of driven turntables 542 is two.

[0095] Every two of the four forms a connecting rod group, forming four parallel connecting rods, two driven turntables 542 are respectively located on both sides of the driving turntable 541, a first end of the first connecting rod 535 is hinged to the first driven turntable 542, a second end of the first connecting rod 535, a first end of the second connecting rod 535 and the driving turntable 541 are hinged at the same point of the driving turntable 541, and a second end of the second connecting rod 535 is hinged to the second driven turntable 542. A third connecting rod 535 and a fourth connecting rod 535 are located on the other side of the driving turntable 541, and the hinge connection manner between the driving turntable 541 and each driven turntable 542 is the same as the hinge connection manner between the first connecting rod 535 and the second connecting rod 535, so the description will be omitted here.

[0096] When the swing lever 531 is in the initial position, the distance J between the two hinge points of the connecting rod 535 of the driving turntable 541 is not less than 1 mm and not more than 2 mm. In this way, a dislocation arrangement form of the connecting rod group is formed, which avoids the swing lever 531 from sticking when it is in the dead center position.

[0097] Continuing to refer to FIG. 15 to FIG. 27, the connection manner of the crank 533, the driving member 520 and the slider 532 will be described below.

[0098] The crank 533 has a first connection part 5331 and a second connection part 5332, and the first connection part 5331 is fitted into the output shaft of the driving member 520 and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving member 520. The slider 532 has a slider sliding part 5321 and a slider insertion part 5322, and the slider sliding part 5321 is located within the swing lever chute 5311. A first end of the slider insertion part 5322 is connected to the slider sliding part 5321, and the slider insertion part 5322 is inserted into the second connection part 5332 and rotatably connected to the second connection part 5332.

[0099] Specifically, both the first connection portion 5331 and the second connection portion 5332 may be sleeve-shaped, and the first connection portion 5331 is fitted onto the output shaft of the driving member 520, and the connection shaft penetrates the first connection portion 5331 and the output shaft of the driving member 520 from a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the first connection portion 5331, thereby fixedly connecting the crank 533 and the output shaft of the driving member 520 and preventing mutual rotation between the two.

[0100] Here, there is also a slider extension portion 5323 on the outer circumferential side of the slider insertion portion 5322, and the slider extension portion 5323 abuts against the surface of the swing lever 531 facing the crank 533, so that the slider sliding portion 5321 slides within the swing lever chute 5311 to prevent the swing lever 531 from moving into the slider insertion portion 5322.

[0101] The second end of the slider inserting portion 5322 is located outside the second connecting portion 5332, and is fitted with the sliding spacer 5324 and the spacer sleeve 5325 in sequence, thereby avoiding wear caused by direct sliding friction between the crank 533 and the slider 532.

[0102] In order to facilitate the connection between the hanger 200 and the rotating unit 500, in the present application, the rotating unit 500 further includes at least two rotating shaft components, and the driving turntable 541 and each of the driven turntables 542 are respectively connected to the rotating shaft components in a one-to-one correspondence, and the rotating shaft components are connected opposite to the hanger 200.

[0103] Specifically, the rotating shaft component includes a rotating shaft 510 and a rotating shaft fixed base 560, the rotating shaft 510 is fitted to the rotating shaft fixed base 560 and can rotate relative to the rotating shaft fixed base 560, and the rotating shaft fixed base 560 is connected to the fixed frame 550.

[0104] The rotating shaft 510 has a first rotating shaft insertion part 511 and a second rotating shaft insertion part 513 at both ends, the first rotating shaft insertion part 511 is connected to face the hanger 200, and the driving turntable 541 or each driven turntable 542 is detachably connected to the second rotating shaft insertion part 513. Here, the first rotating shaft insertion part 511 and the second rotating shaft insertion part 513 may be provided with screw holes, and the first rotating shaft insertion part 511 and the hanger 200 are relatively connected with screws, or the driving turntable 541 and the second rotating shaft insertion part 513 are connected with screws, or the driven turntable rotating shaft 542 and the second rotating shaft insertion part 513 are connected with screws. The ends of the first rotating shaft insertion portion 511 and the second rotating shaft insertion portion 513 away from the rotating shaft 510 may be set to a flat position, i.e., a portion is cut out along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft insertion portion 511 or the axial direction of the second rotating shaft insertion portion 513, so that the cross section of the first rotating shaft insertion portion 511 or the cross section of the second rotating shaft insertion portion 513 becomes D-shaped, thereby preventing relative rotation between the hanger 200 and the first rotating shaft insertion portion 511, and relative rotation between the driving turntable 541 or each driven turntable 542 and the second rotating shaft insertion portion 513.

[0105] It can be understood that a cross section of a part of the first rotary shaft insertion part 511 connected to face the hanger 200 may be triangular or other polygonal to prevent relative rotation between the hanger 200 and the first rotary shaft insertion part 511. Alternatively, it can be understood that a cross section of a part of the second rotary shaft insertion part 513 connected to the driving turntable 541 or each driven turntable 542 may be triangular or other polygonal to prevent relative rotation between the driving turntable 541 or each driven turntable 542 and the second rotary shaft insertion part 513.

[0106] A bearing 514 and a bearing cover 515 are fitted into both the first rotating shaft insertion portion 511 and the second rotating shaft insertion portion 513, and at least one of the bearing covers 515 and the rotating shaft fixing base 560 are fixedly connected or integrally molded. An inner ring of the bearing 514 is fitted into the first rotating shaft insertion portion 511 or the second rotating shaft insertion portion 513, and an outer ring of the bearing 514 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft fixing base 560, whereby the rotating shaft 510 rotates relative to the rotating shaft fixing base 560. Here, the bearing 514 may be a ball bearing, which reduces noise caused by the rotation of the rotating shaft 510 and improves the noise reduction effect. In a specific implementation, the diameters of the first rotating shaft insertion portion 511 and the second rotating shaft insertion portion 513 may be smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft 510, so that shaft shoulders are formed at the connection portions between the first rotating shaft insertion portion 511 and the second rotating shaft insertion portion 513 and the rotating shaft 510, respectively, and the bearing 514 abuts against the shaft shoulders to facilitate the installation and fixing of the bearing 514.

[0107] Here, the rotating shaft fixing base 560 protects the rotating shaft 510 and the bearing 514 so as to avoid direct hot wind or hot air impact, and extends the service life of the rotating shaft 510 and the bearing 514 .

[0108] A bearing sleeve 516 is fitted to both the first and second rotary shaft insertion parts 511 and 513, and the bearing sleeve 516 has a first stopper part 5161, and the driving turntable 541 and / or each driven turntable 542 has a second stopper part 543 that matches the first stopper part 5161. Here, the number of the first stopper part 5161 and the second stopper part 543 may be at least one, and one of the first stopper part 5161 and the second stopper part 543 is a groove and the other is a notch that matches the groove, thereby preventing the relative rotation between the hanger 200 and the first rotary shaft insertion part 511, and the relative rotation between the driving turntable 541 or each driven turntable 542 and the second rotary shaft insertion part 513. The first stopper portion 5161 and the second stopper portion 543 may be in the flat position described above, and in this case, the flat position does not have to be set for the first rotating shaft insertion portion 511511 and the second rotating shaft insertion portion 513.

[0109] In some embodiments, the rotating unit 500 further includes a drive member bracket 570, where the drive member 520 is attached to the drive member bracket 570, the drive member bracket 570 is connected to the fixed frame 550, and the swing lever bracket 534 is connected to the drive member bracket 570. In this way, each member of the rotating unit 500 is connected, and the entire rotating unit 500 can be easily removed and assembled.

[0110] The rotating unit 500 further includes a rotating unit top cover 580, which is covered by a fixed frame 550 and forms a rotating unit cavity body together with the fixed frame 550, and the swing lever bracket 534, the drive member bracket 570, the swing lever 531, the slider 532 and the turntable component 540 are located within the rotating unit cavity body.

[0111] In a specific implementation, the surface of the fixed frame 550 facing the rotating unit top cover 580 has at least one fixed frame shock pad 552, which abuts against the rotating unit top cover 580. This can reduce noise generated during operation of the rotating unit 500 and resonance between the rotating unit 500 and the main body.

[0112] Continuing to refer to FIG. 15 to FIG. 18, different installation positions of the detection component 700 in combination with specific structures of the rotation unit 500 are described below.

[0113] In one possible embodiment, one of the detection member 710 and the sensing member 720 is located on the swing lever 531, and the other is located on the swing lever end chute 5341. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the detection member 710 is located on the swing lever end chute 5341, and the sensing member 720 is located on the swing lever 531. For example, the detection member 710 is located on the inner wall of the swing lever end chute 5341, and the sensing member 720 is located on the surface of the swing lever 531 facing the swing lever end chute 5341, or the detection member 710 is located on the inner bottom wall of the swing lever end chute 5341, and the sensing member 720 is located on the end surface of the swing lever 531 facing the swing lever end chute 5341.

[0114] In another possible embodiment, one of the detection member 710 and the sensing member 720 is located on the swing lever 531, and the other is located on a surface of the rotation unit top cover 580 facing the swing lever 531. The swing lever 531 has a detection component mounting groove 5315, the detection member 710 or the sensing member 720 is fitted into the detection component mounting groove 5315, the swing lever chute 5311 is located between the swing lever connection part 5312 and the detection component mounting groove 5315, the roller 5313 is located between the swing lever chute 5311 and the detection component mounting groove 5315, and the detection component mounting groove 5315 is located outside the swing lever end chute 5341.

[0115] In this embodiment and the accompanying drawings, a case will be described in which the sensing member 720 is located on the swing lever 531, and the detection member 710 is located on the surface of the rotation unit top cover 580 facing the swing lever 531. Here, the swing lever 531 penetrates the outside of the swing lever end chute 5341, and the swing lever 531 penetrating the outside of the swing lever end chute 5341 is provided with a detection component mounting groove 5315, the sensing member 720 is fitted into the detection component mounting groove 5315, and the detection member 710 is located on the rotation unit top cover 580 and faces the sensing member 720. In order to avoid the sensing member 720 affecting the installation of the roller 5313, the wheel surface of the roller 5313 may be the same as the inner surface of the swing lever end chute 5341 or may be larger than the inner wall of the swing lever end chute 5341, thereby ensuring that the contact area between the roller 5313 and the inner wall of the swing lever end chute 5341 is large, and the swing lever end chute 5341 stably rolls and supports the swing lever 531 by the roller 5313 so that the swing lever 531 can swing smoothly.

[0117] 1 to 38, in order to facilitate the connection of the hanger 200 to the liner 120, the garment care machine provided by the present application further includes an adapter structure 600, which includes an adapter housing 610 and a guide component 620 provided on the side of the adapter housing 610, and the hanger 200 is detachably connected to the care system via the adapter housing 610, and guides the airflow for care of the garment 160 from the care system to the main body through the hanger airflow channel 430 and the top of the hanger 200 sequentially into the garment 160 on the hanger 200, and the guide component 620 communicates with the liquid channel 350 and guides the liquid for care of the garment supplied from the care system to the main body through the liquid channel 350 and the side of the hanger 200 sequentially into the garment 160 on the hanger 200.

[0118] In this embodiment, by providing the guide component 620 on the side of the adapter housing 610, the hanger 200 is removably connected to the care system through the adapter housing 610 so that the airflow in the hanger airflow channel 430 of the care system passes through the top of the hanger 200 and enters the garment 160 on the hanger 200, and the guide component 620 communicates with the liquid channel so that the liquid in the liquid channel 350 passes through the side of the hanger 200 and enters the garment 160 on the hanger 200. In this way, the rotatable hanger 200 can simultaneously supply airflow and liquid through the adapter structure 600, and the airflow supply and the liquid supply do not affect each other, thereby improving the care effect of the garment.

[0119] In a specific implementation, the rotating shaft 510 of the rotating unit 500 is inserted into the hanger airflow channel 430 of the air supply unit 400, which saves space and makes the structure of the garment care machine more compact. The rotating shaft 510 partially extends from the hanger airflow channel 430 and is detachably connected to the adapter housing 610, and drives and rotates the hanger 200 through the adapter housing 610. Here, the rotating shaft 510 may be connected to the adapter housing 610 by a detachable connection manner such as a screw, an engagement connection, etc. This allows the adapter structure 600 to be detached from the rotating shaft 510 of the rotating unit 500, which facilitates removal and maintenance of the adapter structure 600.

[0120] Specifically, the rotating shafts 510, the adapter structure 600, and the hanger 200 may be provided in one-to-one correspondence, i.e., one rotating shaft 510 is connected to one adapter housing 610, and one adapter housing 610 is connected to one hanger 200. Each rotating shaft 510 may be driven to swing back and forth by the same driving member, or each rotating shaft 510 is provided with an independent driving member to be driven to swing back and forth.

[0121] 28 to 38, in some embodiments, the rotating shaft 510 has a feed hole extending along its axis for forming the liquid channel 350, and the guide component 620 extends partially into the adapter housing 610 and communicates opposite the feed hole, thereby conserving space occupied by the liquid channel 350 by integrating the liquid channel 350 into the rotating shaft 510.

[0122] In the present application, there is an adapter accommodating cavity 611 in the adapter housing 610, there is an adapter connecting sheet 612 in the adapter accommodating cavity 611, the adapter connecting sheet 612 and the inner wall of the adapter accommodating cavity 611 are connected via at least two rib plates 613, there is an accommodating groove 6121 in the adapter connecting sheet 612, and the rotating shaft 510 is inserted into the accommodating groove 6121 and removably connected to the adapter connecting sheet 612.

[0123] It can be understood that the number of the rib plates 613 may be two or more. In the drawings of this embodiment, the case where the number of the rib plates 613 is four is described, and the adapter receiving cavity 611 may be rectangular, and the four rib plates 613 are arranged in a cross shape to fix the adapter connecting sheet 612 to the central area of ​​the adapter receiving cavity 611.

[0124] Here, the rotating shaft 510 may have a rotating shaft first insertion part 511, the cross section of the rotating shaft first insertion part 511 may be D-shaped, triangular or other polygonal, the accommodating groove 6121 matches with the rotating shaft first insertion part 511, the rotating shaft first insertion part 511 is inserted into the accommodating groove 6121, and prevents the rotating shaft first insertion part 511 from rotating relative to the accommodating groove 6121. The bottom of the accommodating groove 6121 has a through hole communicating with the accommodating groove 6121, the rotating shaft first insertion part 511 has a screw hole, and the screw is connected to the screw hole through the through hole to detachably connect the rotating shaft 510 to the adapter connection seat 612.

[0125] The adapter connection seat 612 has a pipe fitting 6122 in communication with the receiving groove 6121, a first end of the pipe fitting 6122 in communication with the liquid supply hole, and a guide component 620 partially extends into the adapter housing 610 and in communication with a second end of the pipe fitting 6122. This provides communication between the guide component 620 and the liquid channel 350 via the pipe fitting 6122.

[0126] In some embodiments, a rotating shaft seal ring 512 is provided between the accommodating groove 6121 and the rotating shaft first insertion portion 511, and both the surface of the rotating shaft seal ring 512 facing the accommodating groove 6121 and the surface facing the rotating shaft first insertion portion 511 have waterproof ribs. When the rotating shaft 510 and the adapter connection seat 612 are connected with a screw, the rotating shaft seal ring 512 is squeezed to seal the contact surface between the accommodating groove 6121 and the rotating shaft first insertion portion 511, thereby preventing liquid from leaking between the accommodating groove 6121 and the rotating shaft first insertion portion 511.

[0127] Continuing to refer to FIG. 14 , FIG. 29 , FIG. 30 , and FIG. 33 to FIG. 33 , in order to facilitate the airflow provided by the air supply unit 400 to enter the hanger 200 through the adapter structure 600, in some embodiments, the adapter housing 610 has a first opening 614 and a second opening 615 opposite to each other, both of the first opening 614 and the second opening 615 communicate with the adapter receiving cavity 11, and the rotating shaft 510 is inserted into the receiving groove 6121 through the first opening 614, and the first opening 614 and the second opening 615 communicate with the adapter receiving cavity 11. The opening 614 faces the hanger airflow channel 430 and communicates with the hanger airflow channel 430, the top of the hanger 200 has a hanger air inlet 210, the second opening 615 faces the hanger air inlet 210 and communicates with the hanger air inlet 210, the hanger 200 has a hollow cavity 220 and the hanger air inlet 210 communicates with the hollow cavity 220, and the bottom of the hanger 200 has at least one hanger exhaust vent 230 that communicates with the hollow cavity 220. As a result, the airflow supplied by the air supply unit 400 can enter the hanger 200 through the first opening 614, the adapter accommodating cavity 611, the second opening 615 and the hanger air supply port 210 in sequence, and then enter the garment 160 hung on the hanger 200 through the hollow cavity 220 in the hanger 200 and the hanger exhaust port 230.

[0128] In a specific implementation, the hanger air inlet 210 is located in the area covered by the second opening 615, and the rib plate 613 divides the adapter receiving cavity 611 into at least two wind relay areas 6111, and the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the wind relay areas 6111 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the hanger air inlet 210 and smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second opening 615. That is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second opening 615, the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the wind relay areas 6111, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the hanger air inlet 210 are successively smaller, so that the airflow passes through the second opening 615 and each wind relay area 6111 successively and smoothly enters the hanger air inlet 210.

[0129] 28, 32 to 38, in the present application, the guide component 620 may include a guide pipe 621, a fixed base 622, and an openable / closable valve 623, and the adapter housing 610 has an attachment cavity 616, which is located on the side of the adapter accommodating cavity 611, and the fixed base 622 is partially inserted into the attachment cavity 616 and extends toward the hanger 200. Here, the fixed base 622 may be connected to the attachment cavity 616 by a screw, whereby the fixed base 622 is fixed to the adapter housing 610.

[0130] Specifically, the fixed base 622 has a guide channel 6221, a first end of the guide pipe 621 extends into the adapter housing 610 and communicates with a second end of the pipe joint 6122, a second end of the guide pipe 621 communicates with a first end of the guide channel 6221, and a valve 623 is located in the guide channel 6221 to seal the second end of the guide channel 6221. Thus, the liquid supplied by the liquid supply unit 300 flows through the liquid channel 350, the pipe joint 6122 and the guide pipe 621 in sequence to the guide channel 6221, and is blocked in the guide channel 6221 by the opening and closing valve 623. When the hanger 200 is connected to the adapter housing 610, the valve 623 can be opened so that the liquid in the guide channel 6221 flows into the hanger 200.

[0131] In order to avoid the guide pipe 621 located in the adapter housing 610 from occupying the space of the wind power relay area 6111, in some embodiments, the guide pipe 621 located in the adapter housing 610 is located above the rib plate 613 and at least partially overlaps with the rib plate 613. In other words, the projections of the guide pipe 621 in the adapter housing 610 are all located on the rib plate 613 opposite to it, and the width of the rib plate 613 may be equal to or greater than the width of the guide pipe 621 (which may also be referred to as the diameter of the guide pipe 621). In a specific implementation, the guide pipe 621 located in the adapter housing 610 may abut the rib plate 613 opposite to the guide pipe 621, or there is a gap between the two.

Here, the flow direction of the one-way joint 240 is from the guide channel 6221 to the spray component 250, and the structure of the one-way joint 240 in this embodiment is not limited.

[0140] 28-30 and 32-38, in order to facilitate connection of the hanger 200 to the adapter housing 610, in some embodiments, at least one of the top of the hanger 200 and the bottom of the adapter receiving cavity 611 includes at least one sliding rail 6112 and the other includes at least one extension 260, such that when the hanger 200 is inserted into the adapter receiving cavity 611 through the second opening 615, the extension 260 is inserted into and moves along the sliding rail 6112. Through cooperation of the sliding rail 6112 and the extension 260, the hanger 200 is slidably connected to the adapter housing 610, which facilitates removal of the hanger 200 from the adapter housing 610.

[0141] In one possible embodiment, the slide rail 6112 is located at the top of the hanger 200 and the extension 260 is located at the bottom end surface of the adapter receiving cavity 611, or the extension 260 is located at the top of the hanger 200 and the slide rail 6112 is located at the bottom end surface of the adapter receiving cavity 611. Here, the extension 260 can be a T-shaped slider or a dovetail slider, and correspondingly, the slide rail 6112 is a T-shaped slot or a dovetail slot that fits the extension 260.

[0142] In another possible embodiment, the sliding rail 6112 is located on the outer wall of the upper part of the hanger 200, and the extension portion 260 is located on the outer or inner wall of the lower part of the adapter receiving cavity 611, and the upper part of the hanger 200 is covered on the outside of the lower part of the adapter receiving cavity 611 or the upper part of the hanger 200 is embedded in the cavity body of the lower part of the adapter receiving cavity 611 so that the extension portion 260 is inserted into the sliding rail 6112 and moves along the sliding rail 6112.

[0143] In the present application, the number of the sliding rails 6112 is two, which prevents the hanger 200 from tilting during the sliding process, and allows the hanger 200 to slide stably.

[0144] In the drawings of the present application, the two sliding rails 6112 are respectively located on opposing inner walls of the lower part of the adapter accommodating cavity 611, the extension portion 260 is located on the upper part of the hanger 200, the upper part of the hanger 200 is inserted into the adapter housing 610, and the extension portion 260 may be provided in a ring shape around the upper part of the hanger 200, which makes it easy to provide the extension portion 260 on the hanger 200.

[0145] In a specific implementation, the extending direction of the sliding rail 6112 coincides with the direction from the front side to the rear side of the body, that is, the sliding rail 6112 extends from one side of the door 130 to the other side of the door 130, in this way, the user can directly push the hanger 200 into the liner 120 after opening the door 130, so as to insert the hanger 200 into the adapter housing 610 and facilitate the connection between the hanger 200 and the adapter housing 610.

[0146] When the hanger 200 is attached to the adapter housing 610 by mutual cooperation of the extension 260 and the sliding rail 6112, the relative positions of the hanger 200 and the adapter housing 610 are maintained. In some embodiments, the inner wall of the adapter receiving cavity 611 has at least one lock latch groove 6113, and the hanger 200 has at least one lock latch 270 that fits into the lock latch groove 6113, and when the extension 260 moves along the sliding rail to a preset position, the lock latch 270 is engaged with the lock latch groove 6113 to engage the hanger 200 with the adapter housing 610, and at this time, the hanger 200 is fixed relative to the adapter housing 610. At this time, the one-way joint 240 of the hanger 200 abuts against the plugging head 6232 through the inlet pressing plate 624 and the pressing plate sealing seat 6233 in sequence, and the plugging head 6232 is separated from the pressing plate sealing seat 6233, thereby communicating the spray component 250 with the guide channel 6221. Or, the locking latch 270 is disengaged from the locking latch groove 6113 by the action of an external force, at this time, the hanger 200 becomes movable, and the extension part 260 moves relative to the sliding rail 6112 to separate the hanger 200 from the adapter housing 610, that is, to remove the hanger 200 from the adapter housing 610.

[0147] In a specific implementation, the hanger 200 has an elastic button 280 connected to the lock latch 270, and when the hanger 200 is removed from the adapter housing 610, pressing the elastic button 280 on the hanger 200 causes the lock latch 270 to move toward the inside of the hanger 200, move away from the engagement position with the lock latch groove 6113, and disengage from the lock latch groove 6113. Here, both the lock latch 270 and the elastic button 280 may be provided in two, and the lock latch 270 and the elastic button 280 are provided in one-to-one correspondence, and the two elastic buttons 280 are respectively located on opposite sides of the hanger 200, and correspondingly, the two lock latches 270 are also respectively located on opposite sides of the hanger 200.

[0148] In some embodiments, the lock latch groove 6113 communicates with the slide rail 6112, and the lock latch groove 6113 extends toward the hanger 200, thereby allowing the lock latch groove 6113 and the slide rail 6112 to be integrally formed to facilitate processing of the lock latch groove 6113 and the slide rail 6112.

[0149] In the present application, when the hanger 200 is inserted into the adapter accommodating cavity 611 through the second opening 615, the extension 260 is inserted into the sliding rail 6112 and moves along the sliding rail 6112, and the locking latch 270 abuts against the inner wall of the adapter accommodating cavity 611. When the extension 260 moves along the sliding rail 6112 to a preset position, the locking latch 270 enters the locking latch groove 6113 and produces a "da" sound. At this time, the hanger 200 and the adapter housing 610 are locked together, and each wind relay area 6111 faces the hanger air inlet 210 of the hanger 200, allowing the airflow to enter the hanger 200, thereby realizing the function of blowing air into the inside of the garment 160 and accelerating the drying and shaping of the garment. At the same time, the synchronous motion of the hanger 200, the adapter structure 600 and the rotating shaft 510 can be realized, and the hanger 200 can be prevented from being displaced and falling off when the rotating shaft 510 rotates.

[0150] As described above, the hanger 200 in the clothing care machine of the present application can simultaneously perform airflow supply (airflow is supplied by the dotted box on the right side of FIG. 35) and liquid supply (airflow is supplied by the dotted box on the left side of FIG. 35) by the adapter structure 600, and since the airflow supply and the liquid supply do not affect each other, the adapter structure 600 can simultaneously realize the connection between the hanger 200 and the spray component 250 and the relay between the air supply unit 400 and the rotation unit 500, and has a compact structure. The hanger 200 not only plays a role in supporting the clothing, but also sprays the spray component 250 in the hanger 200 into the clothing 160 when liquid enters, enhancing the care effect, and the supplied airflow passes through the hanger 200 to perform operations such as drying from the inside of the clothing 160, thereby improving the care efficiency.
