[0096] The following describes a laundry treatment assembly 100 and a laundry treatment apparatus 400 according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0097] 1 to 39 , a laundry processing assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a mounting base 101 and a functional box 102. The mounting base 101 is adapted to be connected to the laundry processing drum 300 of the laundry processing device 400. For example, the mounting base 101 may be connected to the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing drum 300, or the mounting base 101 may be connected to the side wall of the laundry processing drum 300. The laundry processing drum 300 defines a laundry processing cavity having a laundry access opening. A user may place laundry in and out of the laundry processing cavity through the laundry access opening. Substances generated by the functional components 30 in the functional box 102 enter the laundry processing cavity and contact the laundry to process the laundry.

[0098] As shown in FIG2 , the function box 102 has a receiving cavity 1023 for receiving the functional component 30. It should be noted that the functional component 30 should be understood in a broad sense, that is, the functional component 30 can generate gas to achieve at least one of the effects of sterilizing, fumigating, and softening clothes. For example, the functional component 30 can be an ozone generator, or the functional component 30 can be volatile as a whole, or can contain volatile substances, etc. Moreover, the volatile substances of the functional component 30 can achieve at least one of the effects of sterilizing, fumigating, and softening clothes. For example, the functional component 30 can be an aromatherapy that can evaporate volatile substances. All of these are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 , the mounting seat 101 defines a mounting groove 1013 extending along its axial direction. Specifically, for example, the mounting groove 1013 may be a cylindrical mounting groove, or a hexagonal mounting groove, or a quadrangular mounting groove. The function box 102 is provided in the mounting groove 1013. The function box 102 is installed by providing the mounting groove 1013, that is, the function box 102 will be at least partially located in the mounting seat 101. It can be understood that during the operation of the clothing processing device 400, the clothing processing drum 300 will continuously rotate, so that the clothing will continuously impact the clothing processing assembly 100. Compared with the design in which one end of the function box 102 is directly connected to one end of the mounting seat 101, the present application provides a mounting groove 1013 on the mounting seat 101 and arranges the function box 102 in the mounting groove 1013. On the one hand, the volume of the function box 102 can be relatively large, and it can accommodate a larger functional part 30, thereby extending the service life of the functional part 30 and reducing the frequency of users replacing the function box 102 or the clothing processing assembly 100; on the other hand, the function box 102 is less likely to separate from the mounting seat 101 or be damaged when it is entangled in, impacted by, etc., and it is beneficial for the function box 102 to be easily disassembled and replaced.

[0100] The mounting base 101 includes a channel 70, which connects the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 300 with the accommodating chamber 1023. This means that the laundry treatment substance produced by the functional component 30 enters the accommodating chamber 1023, then passes through the channel 70 into the laundry treatment chamber, where it comes into contact with the laundry and treats the laundry. Compared to simply providing a through hole in the functional box that directly connects to the laundry treatment chamber, the laundry treatment substance produced by the functional component 30 in this application has a longer flow path L and a slower diffusion rate, thereby preventing the concentration of the laundry treatment substance in the laundry treatment drum 300 from being too high and extending the service life of the functional component 30.

[0101] According to the clothing processing assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, by providing a mounting groove 1013 on the mounting seat 101, the function box 102 is at least partially provided in the mounting groove 1013, so that the function box 102 is not easily separated from the mounting seat 101 and damaged under the impact of moving clothes; on the other hand, by providing a channel 70 on the mounting seat 101, the flow path L of the clothing processing substance generated by the functional part 30 is made longer, the diffusion speed of the clothing processing substance is reduced, and then the concentration of the clothing processing substance in the clothing processing drum 300 is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the functional part 30 and reducing the replacement frequency of the function box 102.

[0102] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the mounting base 101 has a first through hole 1012 and a second through hole 1014, and the first through hole 1012 and the second through hole 1014 are respectively located at the axial ends of the mounting base 101, and the first through hole 1012 is used to connect to the inner cavity of the clothing treatment drum 300, and the second through hole 1014 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 1013 and is connected to the accommodating cavity 1023, and the channel 70 connects the first through hole 1012 and the second through hole 1014, so that the flow path L of the clothing treatment substance generated by the functional part 30 is longer, the diffusion speed of the clothing treatment substance is reduced, and the concentration of the clothing treatment substance in the clothing treatment drum 300 is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the functional part 30 and reducing the replacement frequency of the functional box 102. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The second via hole 1014 may also be provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 1013. The first via hole 1012 and the second via hole 1014 may also be respectively located on the radial sides of the mounting seat 101. Alternatively, one of the first via hole 1012 and the second via hole 1014 may be provided on the radial side of the mounting seat 101, and the other of the first via hole 1012 and the second via hole 1014 may be provided on the axial side of the mounting seat 101.

[0103] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG3 , the channel 70 surrounds the outside of the mounting groove 1013. This allows the channel 70 to be as spacious as possible, making it easier for clothing treatment substances to be discharged, and even if impurities such as lint enter the channel 70, they are less likely to be blocked. The channel 70 can surround the outside of the mounting groove 1013, but is not limited thereto. The channel 70 can also be provided on only one side of the mounting groove 1013, or a plurality of channels 70 can be arranged at intervals around the circumference of the mounting groove 1013, or the channel 70 can be arranged in a spiral shape on the outside of the mounting groove 1013.

[0104] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2 to 4, the mounting base 101 includes a first cylinder 1017, a second cylinder 1016, and an annular connector 1011. The first cylinder 1017, the second cylinder 1016, and the annular connector 1011 constitute the base body 10. The first cylinder 1017 is sleeved on the outside of the second cylinder 1016, and the second cylinder 1016 defines a mounting groove 1013. The annular connector 1011 is connected between the first cylinder 1017 and the second cylinder 1016. The annular connector 1011 and the peripheral walls of the first cylinder 1017 and the second cylinder 1016 define at least a portion of the channel 70. The first through hole 1012 is provided in the annular connector 1011. With the above structural design, on the one hand, the structural strength of the base body 10 is high. On the other hand, the space of the channel 70 is large, which is conducive to ensuring the diffusion effect. Third, the processing difficulty is low and the base body 10 is light.

[0105] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG17 , the annular connector 1011 surrounds the notch of the installation slot 1013 , and the annular cover 20 is sleeved on the outside of the function box 102 , and the annular cover 20 cooperates with the annular connector 1011 . In this way, the appearance is more beautiful.

[0106] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, the seat body 10 is provided with an annular rib 1015 extending along the circumference of the annular connector 1011. The annular rib 1015 is stopped on the outside of the annular cover 20. The annular rib 1015 provided on the outside of the annular cover 20 can, on the one hand, limit the annular cover 20 and reduce the possibility of the annular cover 20 shaking significantly in the radial direction. On the other hand, when the mounting seat 101 is a columnar member and the annular connector 1011 is provided at one axial end of the mounting seat 101, compared to when the annular rib 1015 is not provided, the opening of the gap between the annular cover 20 and the mounting seat 101 is oriented in the radial direction. In the present application, the opening of the gap between the annular rib 1015 and the annular cover 20 is oriented in the axial direction, making the gap between the annular cover 20 and the mounting seat 101 less likely to be entangled with hair, lint, etc.

[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, the end of the annular rib 1015 away from the mounting seat 101 is smoothly connected to the end of the annular cover 20 away from the mounting seat 101, which makes the appearance more beautiful and prevents hair, lint, etc. from being easily entangled in the gap between the annular cover 20 and the annular rib 1015.

[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, the outer circumferential surface of the function box 102 has a plurality of matching protrusions 1025 arranged along its circumference, and the plurality of matching protrusions 1025 are matched with the inner circumferential surface of the annular cover 20. It is understandable that providing the matching protrusions 1025 on the outer circumferential surface of the function box 102 can reduce the spacing between the outer circumferential surface of the function box 102 and the side wall of the mounting groove 1013. If the side wall of the function box 102 shakes relative to the side wall of the mounting groove 1013, the range of shaking is smaller. Therefore, the matching protrusions 1025 can limit the function box 102, reduce the possibility of the function box 102 shaking significantly, and thus help reduce the possibility of the function box 102 detaching from the mounting seat 1013.

[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, the inner circumferential surface of the annular cover 20 includes a first annular surface 203, an annular connecting surface 204 and a second annular surface 205 arranged along its axial direction, the second annular surface 205 is arranged on the outside of the first annular surface 203, the annular connecting surface 204 is connected between the first annular surface 203 and the second annular surface 205, and at least one of the first annular surface 203, the annular connecting surface 204 and the second annular surface 205 cooperates with the outer circumferential surface of the functional box 102. It should be noted that the gap between at least one of the first annular surface 203, the annular connecting surface 204 and the second annular surface 205 that cooperate with the outer circumferential surface of the functional box 102 and the outer circumferential surface of the functional box 102 is much smaller than the gap between the side wall of the mounting groove 1013 and the outer circumferential surface of the functional box 102. For example, the gap between at least one of the first annular surface 203, the annular connecting surface 204 and the second annular surface 205 and the outer circumferential surface of the functional box 102 can be 0.02cm-0.04cm. Therefore, if the side wall of the functional box 102 shakes relative to the inner circumferential surface of the annular cover 20, the shaking range is smaller. Therefore, the annular cover 20 can limit the functional box 102, reduce the possibility of the functional box 102 shaking significantly, and thus help reduce the possibility of the functional box 102 detaching from the mounting seat 1013.

[0110] In an embodiment in which the functional box 102 includes a box body 1021 and a cover 1022, at least one end of the box body 1021 has an open opening; the cover 1022 is covered on the open opening to cooperate with the box body 1021 to define a accommodating cavity 1023, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, the first annular surface 203 and the annular connecting surface 204 both cooperate with the outer peripheral surface of the box body 1021, and the second annular surface 205 cooperates with the outer peripheral surface of the cover 1022. The second annular surface 205 cooperates with the outer peripheral surface of the cover body 1022, that is, most of the structure of the functional box 102 is located in the installation space defined by the annular cover 20 and the mounting seat 101, and only a small part protrudes from the installation space. At the same time, the second annular surface 205 cooperates with the outer peripheral surface of the cover body 1022, which can further reduce the possibility of the functional box 102 shaking significantly. For example, when the functional box 102 is connected to the mounting seat 101 by magnetic attraction, the risk of falling off between the functional box 102 and the mounting seat 101 can be reduced.

[0111] In some embodiments, the annular connector 1011 is integrally formed with the first cylinder 1017 and the second cylinder 1016 , which can reduce the number of assembly steps and the difficulty of assembly.

[0112] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG3 , the mounting base 101 further comprises an annular cover 20, which is disposed on a side of the annular connector 1011 facing away from the passage 70. The annular cover 20 is provided with a first through hole 201, and the first through hole 1012 connects the first through hole 201 and the passage 70. In other words, the present application forms the annular cover 20 and the base body 10 comprising the first barrel 1017, the second barrel 1016 and the annular connector 1011 separately, and provides the first through hole 201 on the annular cover 20. Compared to the related art in which the through hole directly connected to the laundry treatment chamber is formed on the box body for accommodating the volatile aromatherapy component, the annular cover 20 in the present application is smaller in size, and it is easier to form the first through hole 201 with a smaller aperture on the annular cover 20. Therefore, the mold structure for forming the annular cover 20 and the base body 10 is less complex, thereby reducing the production cost of the annular cover 20 and the base body 10.

[0113] In addition, since the annular cover 20 is formed separately, the first through hole 201 on the annular cover 20 can be set as a hole extending axially along the annular cover 20, or can be set as a hole extending radially along the annular cover 20, or the orientation direction of the inlet of the first through hole 201 is different from the orientation direction of the outlet of the first through hole 201, or the size of the inlet of the first through hole 201 in its own radial direction is different from the size of the outlet of the first through hole 201 in its own radial direction, that is, the setting method of the first through hole 201 on the annular cover 20 is more flexible and can meet different appearance and design requirements.

[0114] Secondly, since the annular cover 20 and the seat body 10 are split designs, the annular cover 20 and the seat body 10 can be easily processed into structural parts with different colors. For example, the annular cover 20 is red and the seat body 10 is gray or black, thereby making the appearance of the clothing processing component 100 of the present application more eye-catching and more recognizable, and users can more easily distinguish the clothing processing device 400 of the present application from other clothing processing devices 400 with clothing processing components.

[0115] In addition, since the annular cover 20 and the seat body 10 are of split design, for example, the annular cover 20 can be detachably connected to the seat body 10, so that when the first through hole 201 is blocked or entangled with hair or lint, the annular cover 20 can be removed from the seat body 10, making it convenient for the user to clean the hair and lint at the first through hole 201 more conveniently and thoroughly.

[0116] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG11 , the first through hole 201 includes a plurality of first through holes 201 , and the plurality of first through holes 201 are arranged circumferentially around the second cylinder 1016 . In this way, the flow area is larger.

[0117] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG12 , the first through hole 1012 is disposed opposite the first through hole 201, and the flow area of ​​the first through hole 1012 is larger than the flow area of ​​the first through hole 201. This prevents lint, hair, and the like from entering the interior of the clothing treatment assembly 100, thereby reducing the risk of blockage within the clothing treatment assembly 100 and preventing excessive flow resistance, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the clothing treatment assembly 100.

[0118] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG12 , the size of the first through hole 201 is smaller than the size of the first via hole 1012. This prevents lint and hair from entering the interior of the laundry processing assembly 100, thereby reducing the risk of blockage within the laundry processing assembly 100 and preventing excessive flow resistance, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the laundry processing assembly 100.

[0119] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 12, the annular cover 20 is detachably connected to the annular connector 1011. In this way, the installation is convenient, and when the annular cover 20 is detachable, it is convenient to clean the annular cover 20.

[0120] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG12 , the annular cover 20 has a clamping portion 202. As shown in FIG12 , the clamping portion 202 is clamped with the first through-hole 1012. It is understood that the annular cover 20 and the mounting seat 101 are clamped together by the clamping portion 202, and the connection speed between the annular cover 20 and the mounting seat 101 is faster, and the assembly is more convenient. In addition, the annular cover 20 and the mounting seat 101 are clamped together by the clamping portion 202. After the annular cover 20 is installed on the annular connector 1011, it can also be removed from the annular connector 1011 to facilitate cleaning of the first through-hole 201 on the annular cover 20. The clamping portion 202 is clamped with the first through hole 1012, that is, the first through hole 1012 is not only used to connect the first through hole 201 and the accommodating cavity 1023, but also used to clamp with the clamping portion 202 of the annular cover 20, so there is no need to separately set a clamping structure adapted to the clamping portion 202 on the annular connector 1011, which is conducive to simplifying the structural complexity of the annular connector 1011.

[0121] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 12 , the first through hole 1012 includes a plurality of first through holes 1012 , and the plurality of first through holes 1012 are spaced apart along the circumference of the functional box 102 , so that the flow area is larger.

[0122] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 28 to 30, the annular cover 20 has multiple clamping portions 202. As shown in Figure 12, the multiple clamping portions 202 are clamped and matched with a portion of the multiple first through-holes 1012. This makes the clamping connection more stable and does not excessively occupy the initial flow area of ​​the multiple first through-holes 1012. By providing multiple first through-holes 1012 and the multiple clamping portions 202 for clamping, the clamping connection between the annular cover 20 and the annular connector 1011 is facilitated to be more stable.

[0123] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 12, 17, and 18, the first through-hole 1012 is an arc-shaped hole extending along the circumference of the annular connector 1011. In this way, the flow area is larger while ensuring the structural strength of the annular connector 1011. As shown in Figures 27 and 30, the clamping portion 202 includes a first hook 2021 and a second hook 2022. The first hook 2021 and the second hook 2022 are arranged in the extension direction of the arc-shaped hole, and the hook heads of the two hooks are arranged in opposite directions. As shown in Figure 12, the first hook 2021 and the second hook 2022 are respectively clamped to the two oppositely arranged hole edges of the arc-shaped hole. In this way, the clamping connection between the annular cover 20 and the annular connector 1011 is more stable, and the annular cover 20 is not easily separated from the annular connector 1011.

[0124] In some specific embodiments, an odd number of the clamping parts 202 are provided, and the odd number of first hooks 2021 are arranged in a non-axisymmetric and non-centerymmetric manner; the odd number of second hooks 2022 are arranged in a non-axisymmetric and non-centerymmetric manner. In this way, the range of movement of the annular cover 20 relative to the annular connector 1011 is smaller, the clamping connection between the annular cover 20 and the annular connector 1011 is more stable, and the annular cover 20 is less likely to detach from the annular connector 1011.

[0125] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4 , the function box 102 has a receiving cavity 1023 and a second through hole 1024. The receiving cavity 1023 is used to receive the functional component 30, and the second through hole 1024 connects the receiving cavity 1023 with the clothing treatment cavity. In other words, the clothing treatment substance generated by the functional component 30 enters the receiving cavity 1023 and then enters the clothing treatment cavity through the second through hole 1024, where it comes into contact with the clothing and treats the clothing.

[0126] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the second barrel 1016 is adapted to define at least a portion of the channel 70 between it and the laundry treatment drum 300, thereby allowing the second through-hole 1014 provided on the bottom wall of the mounting slot 1013 to communicate with the channel 70. A second through-hole 1024 is provided on a side of the bottom wall of the function box 102 near the second barrel 1016. The second through-hole 1024 connects the second through-hole 1014 with the accommodating chamber 1023. In other words, the laundry treatment substance generated by the functional component 30 enters the laundry treatment chamber and comes into contact with the laundry via the second through-hole 1024, the second through-hole 1014, the channel 70, the first through-hole 1012, and the first through-hole 201 in sequence. Compared to related art methods in which through-holes are directly provided on the function box 102 to communicate directly with the laundry treatment chamber, the flow path L of the laundry treatment substance in this application is longer and the diffusion rate is slower, which can prevent the concentration of the laundry treatment substance from being too high and extend the service life of the function box 102. The second through hole 1024 is provided on one side of the bottom wall of the function box 102 close to the second cylinder 1016 , which helps to reduce the difficulty of demolding when processing the second cylinder 1016 .

[0127] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 , the second via hole 1014 is provided at the bottom wall of the mounting groove 1013 , and the second through hole 1024 is provided at the side wall of the functional box 102 , and the second via hole 1014 is connected to the second through hole 1024 .

[0128] More specifically, as shown in Figures 6 and 35, a plurality of mounting bosses 104 are provided at one end of the second barrel 1016 near the bottom wall 200 of the clothing processing barrel 300, and the bottom wall of the second barrel 1016 and the bottom wall 200 of the clothing processing barrel 300 are spaced apart to form a portion of the channel 70. As shown in Figure 16, an opening area is defined between two adjacent mounting bosses 104, and a portion of the channel 70 formed by the bottom wall of the second barrel 1016 and the bottom wall 200 of the clothing processing barrel 300 is connected through the opening area to a portion of the channel 70 defined between the annular connector 1011 and the peripheral wall of the first barrel 1017 and the peripheral wall of the second barrel 1016.

[0129] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 20 to 22, the functional box 102 includes a box body 1021 and a cover 1022, and at least one end of the box body 1021 has an open opening; the cover 1022 is covered on the open opening to cooperate with the box body 1021 to define a accommodating cavity 1023; here, the functional box 102 includes a box body 1021 and a cover 1022, one end of the two ends of the box body 1021 is closed and the other end has an opening, and the cover 1022 is covered on the opening, for example, the box body 1021 is snap-fitted or threadedly connected to one end of the cover 1022; as shown in Figures 20 to 22, the functional box 102 includes a box body 1021 and two covers 1022, both ends of the box body 1021 are provided with an opening, and the openings at both ends of the box body 1021 are respectively connected to the two covers 1022, for example, the two ends of the box body 1021 are snap-fitted or threadedly connected to the two covers 1022. When the function box 102 includes a box body 1021 and a cover 1022 , the cover 1022 can be located in the installation groove 1013 or outside the installation groove 1013 .

[0130] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2 to 4, the cover 1022 extends from the notch to form at least a portion of the protrusion 1026, and the outer wall surface of the protrusion 1026 includes the outer wall surface of the cover 1022. In other words, the outer wall surface of the protrusion 1026 may include part of the outer wall surface of the box body 1021 and the outer wall surface of the cover 1022, or may only include the outer wall surface of the cover 1022. It is understandable that the user can separate the function box 102 and the mounting base 101 by grasping the cover 1022. Compared with providing a pull ring or other handle member on the cover 1022, directly pulling the cover 1022 to separate the function box 102 and the mounting base 101 is less likely to cause breakage or damage, has a longer service life, and is less complex in structure.

[0131] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1, the function box 102 has a protrusion 1026 extending from the notch of the mounting slot 1013. The user can separate the function box 102 and the mounting base 101 by grasping and operating the protrusion 1026. The outside of the protrusion 1026 and / or the mounting base 101 has a transition surface 103, that is, the transition surface 103 can be formed on the protrusion 1026, on the mounting base 101, or on both the protrusion 1026 and the mounting base 101. The transition surface 103 is located between the outer wall surface of the protrusion 1026 and the outer wall surface of the mounting seat 101 and is not coplanar with either the outer wall surface of the protrusion 1026 or the outer wall surface of the mounting seat 101, so that an obvious transition area is formed between the outer wall surface of the protrusion 1026 and the outer wall surface of the mounting seat 101. When the user needs to remove the function box 102 from the mounting groove 1013, the hand can clearly sense the existence of the transition area, and thus can easily determine whether the hand is holding the function box 102 or the mounting seat 101 through the transition surface 103. Therefore, it is not easy to accidentally remove the mounting seat 101 and damage the mounting seat 101.

[0132] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the outer wall of the protrusion 1026 is located inward of an extension surface S of the outer wall of the mounting base 101 extending along its axial direction, and at least a portion of the transition surface 103 is formed as a curved surface extending from the outside to the inside toward the outer wall of the protrusion 1026. This, on the one hand, makes the transition between the protrusion 1026 and the mounting base 101 more obvious, making it easier for users to distinguish between the function box 102 and the mounting base 101; on the other hand, the area between the protrusion 1026 and the mounting base 101 is less likely to be entangled with lint, hair, etc., and the appearance is also more beautiful.

[0133] In some embodiments, the transition surface 103 may also be an inclined surface, a flat surface, etc.

[0134] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3 , FIG. 4 , FIG. 11 , and FIG. 14 , the transition surface 103 is formed on the annular cover 20 , that is, the first through hole 201 is provided on the annular cover 20 .

[0135] In some embodiments, the transition surface 103 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 201 , and the first through holes 201 are communicated with the accommodating cavity 1023 .

[0136] In some specific examples, the outer wall surface of the first cylinder 1017 can be a cylindrical surface or a prismatic surface. The outer wall surface of the first cylinder 1017 can also be partially a conical surface and partially a cylindrical surface.

[0137] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the annular connector 1011 is connected between the first cylindrical body 1017 and the second cylindrical body 1016 at one end near the notch; the annular cover 20 is disposed outside the annular connector 1011 and is detachably connected to the annular connector 1011, and the transition surface 103 is formed on the side of the annular cover 20 facing away from the annular connector 1011. This provides a simple structure and facilitates processing.

[0138] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG2 , the inner wall surface of the first cylinder 1017 and / or the outer wall surface of the second cylinder 1016 are provided with reinforcing ribs 40. It is understood that by providing the reinforcing ribs 40, the first cylinder 1017 and the second cylinder 1016 are less likely to deform, thereby improving the use strength of the first cylinder 1017 and the second cylinder 1016.

[0139] In some specific examples, as shown in Figure 2, the inner wall surface of the first cylinder 1017 is provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 401, and the plurality of first reinforcing ribs 401 all extend along the axial direction of the first cylinder 1017 and are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the first cylinder 1017, and the outer wall surface of the second cylinder 1016 is provided with a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 402, and the plurality of second reinforcing ribs 402 all extend along the axial direction of the first cylinder 1017 and are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the second cylinder 1016.

[0140] In some specific examples, as shown in FIG2 , one end of the first reinforcing rib 401 near the notch is connected to the other end of the second reinforcing rib 402 near the notch. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the reinforcing rib 40 may extend radially along the first cylindrical body 1017 , with both ends of the reinforcing rib 40 connected to the first cylindrical body 1017 and the second cylindrical body 1016 , respectively.

[0141] In some specific examples, as shown in FIG. 2 , the reinforcing rib 40 is connected to the annular connector 1011 .

[0142] In some specific examples, the outer wall of the box body 1021 is cylindrical, but not limited thereto. The outer wall of the box body 1021 may also be prismatic, a combination of cylindrical and prismatic shapes, and so on.

[0143] In some specific examples, as shown in Figures 5 to 7 and Figure 39, the functional box 102 includes a box body 1021 and two covers 1022. The two covers 1022 are respectively covered at the two open openings of the box body 1021. The two covers 1022 are detachably connected to the box body 1021 so that the functional parts 30 can be filled into the accommodating cavity 1023 from both ends of the box body 1021.

[0144] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8 , the function box 102 further includes a function component 30 , and the function component 30 is detachably disposed in the accommodating cavity 1023 to facilitate replacement of the function component 30 .

[0145] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 , the functional component 30 includes a sterilization component 301 and / or an aromatherapy block 302. It is understood that the sterilization component 301 is used to sterilize clothing and may contain sterilizing ingredients, including but not limited to synthetic amines and sterilizing, fragrant essential oils (i.e., phytoncides). The substances emitted by the aromatherapy block 302 can enhance the fragrance of clothing.

[0146] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the functional component 30 includes a base 305 having a cavity that communicates with the accommodating cavity 1023. The base 305 can be used only to fix other aromatherapy blocks 302 or sterilization components 301 so that the user does not directly contact the aromatherapy blocks 302 and sterilization components 301 when replacing the functional component 30. Alternatively, the base 305 itself can also be the sterilization component 301 or aromatherapy block 302.

[0147] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 20 to 22, both ends of the box body 1021 have open openings, and the cover body 1022 includes a first cover body 1022a and a second cover body 1022b respectively covering the open openings at both ends; so that the functional parts 30 can be filled into the accommodating cavity 1023 from both ends of the box body 1021.

[0148] Among them, the base 305 is a columnar structure, as shown in Figure 4, and the axial ends of the base 305 are respectively abutted or gap-fitted with the first cover body 1022a and the second cover body 1022b to fix the base 305. As shown in Figures 5 and 39, at least one end of the base 305 is provided with a notch to connect the chamber and the accommodating chamber 1023. In this way, when a sterilization component 301 or an aromatherapy block 302 is provided in the chamber of the base 305, the substances produced by the sterilization component 301 or the aromatherapy block 302 can enter the accommodating chamber 1023, and the substances produced by the inner wall of the chamber can also enter the accommodating chamber 1023.

[0149] According to some embodiments of the present application, the base 305 is a sterilization element 301, which contains phytoncides. Specifically, the sterilization element 301 is capable of volatile release of phytoncides, which have antibacterial properties. These phytoncides facilitate contact with clothing, thereby sterilizing the clothing. Furthermore, phytoncides are natural compounds, widely available, and environmentally safe, making them friendly to both the environment and the human body. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the sterilization element 301 may comprise a substrate made of a non-volatile material, so that even if all the phytoncides evaporate, the shape of the sterilization element 301 remains unchanged.

[0150] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG4 , the functional part 30 includes a barrier portion 304, which is located in the chamber to divide the chamber into a plurality of sub-chambers. In this way, on the one hand, the volatilization area is larger to ensure the clothing treatment effect. On the other hand, the sub-chambers can also be used to accommodate other objects and realize other functions. The barrier portion 304 is provided with a connecting hole to connect two adjacent sub-chambers so that the clothing treatment substances between the sub-chambers can flow to each other. For example, the barrier portion 304 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes along its own circumference. More specifically, a plurality of limiting ribs 303 are provided on the inner wall of the chamber, and the grooves defined between adjacent limiting ribs 303 are connected to the plurality of connecting holes as a whole. On the one hand, the connecting area can be made larger, and on the other hand, it can also serve the purpose of strengthening the structural strength of the functional part 30.

[0151] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG3 , the functional component 30 further includes an aromatherapy block 302, which is detachably disposed within the chamber, allowing the user to choose whether to place the aromatherapy block 302 in the chamber or not, depending on their needs. In embodiments where the base 305 is a conventional structural component, the functional component 30 including the aromatherapy block 302 only has a fragrance-enhancing function. In embodiments where the base 305 is a sterilization component 301, such as a phytoncide sterilization component, the functional component 30 has both sterilization and fragrance-enhancing functions.

[0152] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4 , the inner circumferential wall of the chamber is provided with a plurality of limiting ribs 303 arranged at circumferential intervals. The limiting ribs 303 are used to abut against the aromatherapy block 302 , thereby fixing the aromatherapy block 302 well and preventing the aromatherapy block 302 from shaking. At the same time, the limiting ribs 303 can also serve to strengthen the structural strength of the functional part 30 .

[0153] According to some embodiments of the present application, the function box 102 is detachably connected to the mounting base 101, so that when the functional component 30 is used up or fails, the function box 102 can be removed from the mounting base 101 to fill a new functional component 30 or replace a new function box 102.

[0154] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting base 101 is magnetically coupled with the function box 102. In this way, when the function box 102 is installed on the mounting base 101, and when the function box 102 is removed from the mounting base 101, it is faster and more convenient, and it is convenient for the user to replace the function box 102. Specifically, for example, as shown in Figure 25, a first magnetic member 50 can be provided on one of the mounting base 101 and the function box 102, and a second magnetic member 60 can be provided on the other of the function box 102 and the mounting base 101, and the first magnetic member 50 and the second magnetic member 60 are magnetically coupled; wherein, at least one of the first magnetic member 50 and the second magnetic member 60 is a magnetic member, such as a magnet, and the other can be a magnet or an iron member.

[0155] In some embodiments, the first magnetic member 50 and the second magnetic member 60 can be connected to the function box 102 and the mounting base 101 through an adhesive layer, or can be fixed to the function box 102 and the mounting base 101 by a snap connection, or can be fixed to the function box 102 and the mounting base 101 by a bolt connection, or can be embedded in the function box 102 and the mounting base 101 by injection molding to achieve fixation with the function box 102 and the mounting base 101.

[0156] In some embodiments, the functional component 30 and the mounting seat 101 may also be connected to each other by bolt connection or snap connection.

[0157] In some specific embodiments, the annular cover 20 is in a circular ring shape. Compared with the annular cover 20 with a sharp bend, the circular ring shape of the annular cover 20 is less likely to scratch clothes.

[0158] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 18, the inner side wall of the second barrel 1016 is provided with a reinforcement groove 1019 extending axially, and one end of the reinforcement groove 1019 is located at the bottom wall of the second barrel 1016. This can increase the area of ​​the bottom wall of the groove and provide a connection position for the second barrel 1016 to be connected to the clothing processing device 400, so as to ensure that the bottom wall of the groove of the second barrel 1016 has sufficient area to set other functional holes such as the second through hole 1024; on the other hand, it can also enhance the structural strength of the second barrel 1016.

[0159] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 1013 is provided with a first positioning structure 1018. As shown in Figure 3, the position of the function box 102 facing the bottom wall of the mounting groove 1013 is provided with a first positioning and matching structure 106, and the first positioning structure 1018 cooperates with the first positioning and matching structure 106. It can be understood that since the seat body 10 will rotate with the clothes processing drum 300, by making the first positioning structure 1018 cooperate with the first positioning and matching structure 106, the risk of the function box 102 rotating relative to the mounting groove 1013 can be reduced, which is conducive to the stable connection between the function box 102 and the mounting seat 101 and reduces the risk of accidental separation of the function box 102 from the mounting seat 101.

[0160] In an embodiment in which the mounting slot 1013 and the functional box 102 are matched by magnetic attraction, a first positioning structure 1018 and a first positioning matching structure 106 that match each other are provided, which can reduce the risk of the functional box 102 rotating relative to the mounting slot 1013, thereby causing the magnetic attraction effect to deteriorate and the risk of the functional box 102 being separated from the mounting slot 1013, and can increase the connection stability between the mounting slot 1013 and the functional box 102 that are connected to each other by magnetic attraction.

[0161] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first positioning and matching structures 106 are multiple and the multiple first positioning and matching structures 106 are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction; the first positioning structure 1018 is one; or, the first positioning structure 1018 is multiple and the multiple first positioning structures 1018 and the multiple first positioning and matching structures 106 are matched one-to-one. It is understandable that after the function box 102 is installed in the installation slot 1013, it is necessary to make the first positioning structure 1018 and the first positioning and matching structure 106 reach a matching state, but after the function box 102 is placed in the installation slot 1013, the positions of the first positioning and matching structures 106 and the first positioning and matching structures 1018 may not correspond. In this case, it is necessary to rotate the function box 102 so that the positions of the first positioning and matching structures 106 and the first positioning and matching structures 1018 correspond. If both the first positioning structure 1018 and the first positioning matching structure 106 are provided, at this time, when rotating the function box 102 to make the first positioning structure 1018 and the first positioning matching structure 106 match each other, it may be necessary to rotate more than 180 degrees. By setting one or more first positioning structures 1018, multiple first positioning matching structures 106 are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction, for example, three are set. At this time, the function box 102 only needs to be rotated 120° at most to make the first positioning matching structure 106 correspond to the first positioning structure 1018, thereby shortening the installation time for the user to install the function box 102 on the mounting seat 101, and providing a better operating experience.

[0162] In some specific embodiments, one of the first positioning structure 1018 and the first positioning matching structure 106 is a first positioning post and the other is a first positioning hole plugged into and matched with the first positioning post, which has a simple structure and is easy to process and shape.

[0163] In some embodiments, the third positioning structure is provided on the peripheral wall of the installation groove 1013, and the third positioning matching structure is provided on the peripheral wall of the functional box 102, and the third positioning structure cooperates with the third positioning matching structure. For example, one of the third positioning matching structure and the third positioning matching structure is a groove portion, and the other is a protrusion structure.

[0164] In some embodiments, there are multiple third positioning and matching structures, and the multiple third positioning and matching structures are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction; there is one third positioning structure; or, there are multiple third positioning structures, and the multiple third positioning structures and the multiple third positioning and matching structures are matched one-to-one.

[0165] As shown in Figures 36 to 38, a laundry processing device 400 according to an embodiment of the present application includes the laundry processing assembly 100 according to the above-described embodiment. The laundry processing device 400 may be a clothes dryer, a clothes drying machine, a clothes sterilizer, a clothes care machine, or a washer-dryer. The laundry processing device 400 may also be a washing machine, and the function box 102 may also be used to store cleaning particles.

[0166] Since the clothing processing component 100 according to the embodiment of the present application has the above-mentioned technical effects, the clothing processing device 400 according to the embodiment of the present application also has the above-mentioned technical effects. On the one hand, by setting the installation groove 1013 on the mounting seat 101, the function box 102 is at least partially arranged in the installation groove 1013, so that the function box 102 is not easily separated from the mounting seat 101 and damaged under the impact of moving clothes; on the other hand, by setting the channel 70 on the mounting seat 101, the flow path L of the clothing processing substance generated by the functional part 30 is made longer, the diffusion speed of the clothing processing substance is reduced, and then the concentration of the clothing processing substance in the clothing processing drum 300 is reduced, the service life of the functional part 30 is extended, and the replacement frequency of the function box 102 is reduced.

[0167] In some specific embodiments, the clothing processing device 400 may be an air circulation type clothes dryer, such as a heat pump clothes dryer, a condensing clothes dryer, or a direct exhaust type clothes dryer.

[0168] As shown in FIG38 , the laundry processing apparatus 400 according to an embodiment of the present application further includes a rotatable laundry processing drum 300, which defines a laundry processing chamber having a laundry access opening; a user can take laundry in and out of the laundry access opening. As shown in FIG32 to FIG35 , the laundry processing assembly 100 is provided at the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing drum 300. It should be noted that, generally speaking, hot air in the laundry processing apparatus 400 is usually blown from the bottom wall 200 toward the laundry access opening. When the laundry processing assembly 100 is provided at the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing drum 300, when drying laundry, the hot air at the bottom wall 200, which is at a higher temperature, will first contact the laundry processing assembly 100, thereby being more conducive to the diffusion of the laundry treatment substance, allowing the laundry treatment substance to be fully mixed with the laundry. Finally, the hot air flows out from the air outlet of the laundry access opening. Compared with a fragrance dispenser placed at the laundry access opening, the laundry processing assembly 100 of the present application is less likely to accumulate lint and has a better fragrance release effect.

[0169] Secondly, placing the laundry processing assembly 100 on the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing drum 300 can also reduce the concentration of laundry during the rotation of the laundry processing drum 300, thereby dispersing the laundry and preventing it from becoming tangled or knotted. Specifically, when the laundry processing drum 300 rotates, the laundry in the laundry processing drum 300 falls from a high position to a low position and passes through the laundry processing assembly 100. The laundry processing assembly 100 can disperse the laundry, reducing the possibility of the laundry becoming tangled or knotted, thereby making the laundry drying more uniform, thereby significantly improving the laundry drying effect. Therefore, the laundry processing device 400 according to the embodiment of the present application has the advantages of preventing laundry from becoming tangled and improving the drying effect.

[0170] In some embodiments, depending on the diffusion capability of the functional component 30, for example, when the diffusion capability of the functional component 30 is poor, an air inlet hole can be provided on the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing drum 300, and the air inlet hole is connected to the accommodating cavity 1023, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the diffusion speed of the functional component 30.

[0171] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 and 36 to 38, the laundry processing drum 300 includes a drum bottom wall 200 disposed directly opposite the laundry access opening. The mounting seat 101 can be disposed on the drum bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing drum 300 and extend axially along the laundry processing drum 300. The mounting seat 101 defines a mounting groove 1013 extending axially thereof and opening toward the laundry access opening. The function box 102 is detachably disposed within the mounting groove 1013 and has a receiving cavity 1023 and a second through hole 1024. The receiving cavity 1023 is used to accommodate the functional component 30, and the second through hole 1024 connects the receiving cavity 1023 with the laundry processing chamber.

[0172] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 and 32 to 35, the mounting seat 101 includes a seat body 10 and an annular cover 20. The seat body 10 mounting seat 101 extends axially along the clothing processing drum 300 and defines a mounting groove 1013 and at least a portion of the channel 70. One axial end of the seat body 10 is connected to the bottom wall 200 of the clothing processing drum 300, and the other axial end of the seat body 10 is provided with a first through hole 1012 connected to the channel 70; the annular cover 20 is provided at the other axial end of the seat body 10, and the first through hole 201 is provided in the annular cover 20 and is connected to the first through hole 1012.

[0173] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 32 to 35 , one axial end of the mounting base 101 is connected to the middle portion of the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing drum 300. This allows the laundry processing drum 300 to be subjected to relatively more uniform force during rotation, making it less likely to shake, resulting in a longer service life and less impact on the rotation of the laundry processing drum 300. Furthermore, the laundry processing assembly 100 can further improve its ability to loosen the laundry, thereby further preventing entanglement.

[0174] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface of the mounting seat 101 is a conical surface, and the radial dimension of the conical surface gradually decreases in the direction away from the bottom wall 200 of the laundry treatment tub 300. In this way, the clothes are not easily entangled on the mounting seat 101, and the effect of loosening the clothes is better.

[0175] More specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the mounting base 101 may be a conical surface, which can prevent the clothes from being scratched by the clothes processing assembly 100 while ensuring that the clothes are not entangled.

[0176] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 6 and 35, a plurality of mounting bosses 104 are provided at one end of the second tub 1016 near the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing tub 300, and the mounting bosses 104 are provided with mounting holes 1041. The bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing tub 300 is provided with a plurality of mating holes 2001. The mounting seat 101 and the laundry processing tub 300 are connected by a plurality of fasteners, and each fastener is inserted into a corresponding mounting hole 1041 and mating hole 2001, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the mounting seat 101 and the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing tub 300, a stable connection, and not easily detached from the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing tub 300. Specifically, for example, the mounting holes 1041 and / or the mating holes 2001 may be threaded holes, and the fasteners may be bolt fasteners.

[0177] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 15, 16, and 35, a second positioning structure 105 is provided at one end of the second barrel 1016 near the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing drum 300. The bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing drum 300 is provided with a second positioning and matching structure 2002, and the second positioning structure 105 cooperates with the second positioning and matching structure 2002. Thus, when installing the second barrel 1016 on the bottom wall 200 of the laundry processing drum 300, the second positioning structure 105 and the second positioning and matching structure 2002 are first aligned, and then the fasteners are inserted into the corresponding mounting holes 1041 and matching holes 2001. This facilitates quick positioning and makes the installation operation simpler and more convenient. For example, the second positioning structure 105 is a prism, and the second positioning and matching structure 2002 is a corresponding rectangular hole or polygonal hole.

[0178] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG16 , the second positioning structure 105 and the second positioning matching structure 2002 respectively include multiple second positioning structures 105 and multiple second positioning matching structures 2002 respectively, and the multiple second positioning structures 105 and the multiple second positioning matching structures 2002 are matched one-to-one; in this way, the positioning effect is better.

[0179] In some embodiments, one of the second positioning structure 105 and the second positioning matching structure 2002 is a second positioning post and the other is a second positioning hole that is plugged into and matched with the second positioning post. It is understandable that such a matching structure is simple in structure, easy to process, and fast in matching and connecting speed.
