Clothing processing equipment

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application publicly claims priority to Chinese patent applications No. 202311129389.5 and No. 202322396878.9 filed on August 31, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0004] After drying clothes in a clothing processing device, lint is generated. To address this, a filter can be installed in the air outlet duct connecting the drying module and the clothing container. During the drying process, airflow from the clothing container passes through the air outlet duct and enters the drying module, where the lint and impurities it carries are collected by the filter. Accordingly, the filter needs to be rinsed to prevent the presence of lint and impurities from affecting the filter's ventilation performance and the overall drying effect.

[0005] However, in current clothing processing equipment, the lower part of the air outlet pipe is connected to the inner drum of the clothing container. Since the filter is arranged in the air outlet pipe, the water carrying hair and impurities for washing the filter will inevitably enter the inner drum after flowing down, affecting the clothing processing effect.

[0006] Therefore, how to prevent the water used to flush the filter from flowing into the inner drum and affecting the clothing treatment effect has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a clothing processing device, which aims to at least to some extent solve the technical problem that water carrying hair and impurities used to rinse the filter flows into the inner drum, affecting the clothing processing effect.

[0009] The present disclosure provides a clothing processing device, comprising: a clothing container, comprising an inner drum, the inner drum being used to accommodate clothing to be processed; a drying module, connected to the clothing container, and used to dry the airflow drawn from the clothing container; an air outlet duct, connected to the clothing container and the drying module, and used to guide the airflow, the air outlet of the clothing container being connected to the air outlet duct, and at least a portion of the air outlet in the horizontal projection direction being located below the inner drum.

[0010] The clothing processing device provided in the present application has an air outlet of the clothing container connected to the air outlet pipe, and the air outlet is at least partially located below the inner drum in the horizontal projection direction. When water is discharged through the air outlet pipe, the water will flow through the air outlet. Due to its own gravity, the water will be discharged along the bottom of the air outlet. When the water is discharged along the bottom of the air outlet, it will not flow into the inner drum, thereby avoiding affecting the clothing processing effect due to excess water flowing into the inner drum. Especially when the inner drum contains clothes to be processed or processed clothes, it can effectively avoid the clothes to be processed from being contaminated by water flowing into the air outlet.

[0046] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following description is only for the purpose of illustrating the basic principles of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0047] In the related art, the drying module of a clothing processing device similar to a dryer or a washer-dryer is arranged at the bottom of the clothing processing device. Since the bottom of the clothing processing device is equipped with a counterweight block, a drainage pipe, a fan and other structures, the compressor of the drying module can only be a vertical compressor. The vertical compressor takes up space in height, causing the height of the clothing processing device to be high and occupying a large space. For users of small apartments, the user experience needs to be improved and there is room for improvement.

[0048] Based on the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a clothing processing device, aiming to solve, at least to a certain extent, the technical problem that clothing processing devices in the prior art occupy a large space.

[0049] For the convenience of description, the orientation shown in the present disclosure is explained with the user as the reference object.

[0050] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a laundry processing apparatus according to one or more embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the laundry processing apparatus of Figure 1 without the housing, and Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of Figure 2 from another perspective. In conjunction with Figures 1-3 , the laundry processing apparatus includes a housing 100, a laundry container 200, a drying module 300, and an air induction assembly 400, wherein the laundry container 200, the drying module 300, and the air induction assembly 400 are all disposed within the housing 100.

[0051] Figure 4 shows a schematic structural diagram of the outer drum of the clothing container in Figure 1. Combined with Figures 1 to 4, the clothing container 200 is provided with an air inlet 201 and an air outlet 202, and the drying module 300 is arranged above the clothing container 200. The drying module 300 has an input port and an output port, and the output port of the drying module 300 is connected to the air inlet 201 of the clothing container 200.

[0052] 1 to 4 , the draft assembly 400 is disposed in the housing 100. The draft assembly 400 includes an draft member 401 and an air outlet pipe 402. The draft member 401 is disposed above the clothing container 200. The draft member 401 has a first air outlet and a second air outlet. The first air outlet of the draft member 401 is connected to the air outlet 202 of the clothing container 200 through the air outlet pipe 402. The air outlet pipe 402 is disposed on the rear side of the clothing container 200, that is, the air outlet pipe 402 is disposed on the side of the clothing container 200 facing away from the user. The second air outlet of the draft member 401 is connected to the input port of the drying module 300.

[0053] FIG5 shows an internal schematic diagram of the air outlet duct in FIG3 . In conjunction with FIG5 , a filter 500 is provided in the air outlet duct 402 to filter impurities introduced into the drying module 300 .

[0054] FIG7 is a schematic diagram of an air circulation system for the laundry processing apparatus shown in FIG1. ​​In conjunction with FIG7, the laundry processing apparatus provided by the present disclosure is configured such that the first air outlet of the air induction member 401 is connected to the air outlet 202 of the laundry container 200 via the air outlet duct 402, the second air outlet of the air induction member 401 is connected to the air inlet of the drying module 300, and the air outlet of the drying module 300 is connected to the air inlet 201 of the laundry container 200. Thus, low-temperature, high-humidity air within the laundry container 200 can be drawn into the drying module 300 through the air outlet 202 of the laundry container 200. After being processed by the drying module 300, the high-temperature dry air is then introduced into the laundry container 200 through the air inlet 201 to dry the laundry within the laundry container 200. The high-temperature dry air is then converted into low-temperature, high-humidity air and is again drawn into the drying module 300 through the air outlet 202 of the laundry container 200, thereby forming an air circulation system. During the air circulation process, the filter element 500 in the air outlet pipe 402 can filter out impurities in the air, so as to prevent the impurities from entering the drying module 300 to a certain extent, affecting the normal operation of the drying module 300, and also to a certain extent prevent the impurities from entering the clothing container 200 again, affecting the cleanliness of the clothing container 200.

[0055] The present disclosure provides a clothing processing device, in which the air outlet duct 402 of the air induced component 400 is arranged on the rear side of the clothing container 200, and the filter element 500 is arranged in the air outlet duct 402, so as to avoid the technical problem that the filter element 500 is arranged above the clothing container 200 and occupies too much space, resulting in the inability to install the drying module 300 and the air induced component 401 above the clothing container 200. Therefore, the drying module 300 and the air induced component 401 of the air induced component 400 can be arranged above the clothing container 200. Compared with the arrangement scheme of arranging the drying module 300 and the air induced component 401 of the air induced component 400 below the clothing container 200, the overall height of the product can be effectively reduced, so as to solve the technical problem of the large space occupied by the clothing processing device to at least a certain extent, and the product has good practicality.

[0056] The box body 100 of the present disclosure includes a frame, and the clothing receiving member 200 is arranged inside the frame. A cover plate may be provided on the top of the frame to cover and decorate the parts inside the box body.

[0057] 1-4 , the air outlet 202 of the clothing container 200 can be located on the rear side of the clothing container 200, and the air induction member 401 can be located above the air outlet 202 of the clothing container 200. The air outlet 202 can be located on one side of the lower portion of the rear side of the clothing container 200 to increase the length of the air outlet duct 402 to a certain extent, and accordingly increase the length of the filter element 500 within the air outlet duct 402 to improve the filtering effect of impurities in the outlet air. Of course, the air outlet 202 can also be located at other locations on the rear side of the clothing container 200, and this is not limited here.

[0058] 1-3 , the air inducing member 401 may be an axial flow fan, which is disposed at a corner of the top of the frame. The periphery of the air inducing member 401 may be fixed to the top of the frame 101 by corresponding lap joints and / or matching bolts.

[0059] With reference to Figures 1-3 and 7 , the drying module 300 may include an evaporator 301 and a condenser 302. The evaporator 301 absorbs heat from the low-temperature, high-humidity air delivered by the draft inducer 401, converting it into low-temperature, low-humidity air, which is then delivered to the condenser 302. The low-temperature, low-humidity air is then heated by the condenser 302 to become high-temperature, dry air, which is then delivered to the clothing container 200 to dry the clothes therein. With reference to Figures 1-3 , the drying module 300 may also include a loading unit 303. The evaporator 301 and the condenser 302 are both integrated within the loading unit 303. The loading unit 303 and the draft inducer 401 are arranged side by side above the rear side of the clothing container 200, i.e., they are arranged from left to right or from right to left. The loading unit 303 may be box-shaped, and its periphery may be secured to the top of the frame using lap joints and bolts.

[0060] In combination with Figures 1 to 3, the drying module 300 may further include an air duct 304, which has an air inlet end and an air outlet end. The air inlet end of the air duct 304 is connected to the front side of the loading part 303, and the air outlet end of the air duct 304 extends toward the circumference of the clothing container 200. The air inlet 201 of the clothing container 200 is connected to the air outlet end of the air duct 304 through the air inlet duct 203, so that the high-temperature dry gas heated by the condenser 302 can be introduced into the interior of the clothing container 200 through the air duct 304 and the air inlet duct 203 for use.

[0061] In specific implementation, the air duct 304 can be integrally formed on the loading part 303, and the air inlet duct 203 can also be integrally formed on the front part of the peripheral surface of the clothing container 200. When the loading part 303 is assembled in place, the air duct 304 and the air inlet duct 203 are docked and connected. In order to ensure the reliability of the connection between the two, a sealing ring can be set between the air duct 304 and the air inlet duct 203, which will not be elaborated here; in addition, the periphery of the air duct 304 can be fixed to the top of the frame by corresponding lap parts and bolts.

[0062] It should be noted that the air inlet duct 203 may also be connected to a position such as the front side of the clothing container 200, and this is not limited here.

[0063] In combination with Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 7, the drying module 300 may further include a compressor 305, which may be arranged in the box body 100 in a horizontal direction or a nearly horizontal direction, and the compressor 305 and the air inducing member 401 are arranged side by side on the side of the loading member 303 in a direction parallel to the thickness of the clothing container 200 (i.e., in the direction of the rotation axis of the clothing container 200). In this way, the main components of the clothing processing device can be concentrated above the clothing container 200 to effectively reduce the overall height of the product, so as to solve the technical problem of the large space occupied by the clothing processing device to at least a certain extent, and has good practicality.

[0064] The compressor 305 in the present disclosure can be set horizontally or nearly horizontally, with dimensions of approximately 150mm×260mm×10mm, and its top projection direction occupies approximately 15%-20% of the total area of ​​the drying module 300. The periphery of the compressor 305 is also fixed to the top of the frame 101 by corresponding bridging members 600 and bolts.

[0065] 4 and 18 , a water inlet 204 and a drain port 208 are further provided on the circumferential surface of the clothing container 200, wherein the water inlet 204 of the clothing container 200 can be provided at the top of the circumferential surface of the clothing container 200, and the drain port 208 can be provided at the bottom of the circumferential surface of the clothing container 200. The water inlet 204 is used to be connected to the water supply port of the equipment to convey a clean fluid into the clothing container 200 so as to wash the clothes in the clothing container 200. The sewage generated during the washing process can be discharged through the drain port 208. After washing is completed, the drying module 300 and the air induced component 400 work to dry the clothes in the clothing container 200.

[0066] 5 , under normal circumstances, the low-temperature and high-humidity gas from the clothing container 200 will carry a portion of impurities such as lint shed from the clothes. If these lint and other impurities are not filtered, the low-temperature and high-humidity gas will carry these impurities into the drying module 300, affecting the normal operation of the drying module 300. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a filter element 500 in the air outlet duct 402 to filter out impurities such as lint.

[0067] 3 , the air outlet duct 402 is arranged on the rear side of the clothing container 200, and the filter element 500 is arranged in the air outlet duct 402. Therefore, the filter element 500 is also arranged on the rear side of the clothing container 200. Compared with the solution in which the filter element 500 is arranged above or below the clothing container 200, the space above the clothing container 200 can be increased, creating space for the air induction element 401 and the drying module 300 to be arranged above the clothing container 200.

[0068] 6 , the air outlet duct 402 includes a mounting portion 403 connected to the clothing container 200 for securing the air outlet duct 402 to the outer surface of the clothing container 200. A plurality of mounting portions 403 are provided on the outer wall of the air outlet duct 402 to securely attach the air outlet duct 402 to the outer surface of the clothing container 200.

[0069] 6 , the upper portion of the air outlet duct 402 bends in an opposite direction to the lower portion. This arrangement allows water within the air outlet duct 402 to flow out in an oblique manner, preventing water from accumulating in the air outlet duct 402 and affecting the airflow guidance during the drying process. For example, the upper portion of the air outlet duct 402 bends horizontally to one side, while the lower portion bends horizontally to the other side. In actual scenarios, the upper and lower portions of the air outlet duct 402 can be bent in opposite directions. The specific bending direction is influenced by the relative position of the air outlet duct 402 and the clothing container 200, as well as the airflow guidance requirements of the air outlet duct 402, and is not limited to the example shown in FIG6 .

[0070] 5 , the filter element 500 may be a filter screen to filter the airflow to the drying module 300. To increase the filtering area of ​​the filter element 500, the filter element 500 may be tilted and disposed in the air outlet duct 402. The black arrows in FIG5 indicate the direction of the airflow.

[0071] In one embodiment, the clothing container 200 comprises an inner and outer tub. The inner tub is used to hold clothing, and the outer tub is positioned outside the inner tub, with a predetermined distance between them. The outer tub has a larger diameter than the inner tub, and the inner tub's sidewalls include water holes for the passage of cleaning fluids and gases. The length of the air outlet duct 402 (the dimension along the height of the housing 100) is preferably greater than or equal to half the diameter of the outer tub. This ensures that the air outlet duct 402 has an appropriate length, appropriately increasing the filtration area of ​​the filter element 500 and providing more space for the installation of the spray mechanism 700 described below.

[0072] 5 , in one embodiment, the upper end of the filter element 500 can be connected to the corner of the upper end of the air outlet pipe 402 away from the clothing container 200, and the lower end of the filter element 500 can be connected to the corner of the lower end of the air outlet pipe 402 close to the clothing container 200, that is, the filter element 500 is arranged in a cross-sectional manner on the diagonal line of the cross section of the air outlet pipe 402, which can maximize the area of ​​the filter element 500 to a certain extent, increase the filtering area of ​​the filter element 500, and increase the installation space for the following spray mechanism 700.

[0073] In another embodiment, the filter element 500 may also be disposed at other positions, for example, the filter element 500 may be disposed on another diagonal line of the cross section of the air outlet duct 402 , which is not limited here.

[0074] In one embodiment, the axial angle between the filter element 500 and the clothing container 200 is preferably 20°-80°, for example, 20°, 30°, 45°, 60° or 80°. The specific design can be made according to the actual size of the air outlet duct 402, which will not be elaborated here.

[0075] During the operation of the clothes processing device, if the filter 500 is not cleaned for a long time, impurities such as lint attached thereto will clog the filter 500, affecting the normal circulation of airflow and further affecting the drying efficiency of the clothes processing device.

[0076] To remove impurities such as lint from the filter element 500, the present disclosure provides a spray mechanism. FIG8 shows a schematic structural diagram of an air outlet duct with a spray mechanism in one embodiment. In conjunction with FIG8 , the spray mechanism 700 is disposed within the housing 100 and above the filter element 500 to spray a cleaning fluid onto the filter element 500 to clean impurities adhering to the filter element 500.

[0077] In conjunction with Figure 8, the spray mechanism 700 may include a spray pipe 702, which is arranged in the air outlet pipe 402. The spray pipe 702 is located above the filter element 500, and the spray pipe 702 is provided with spray holes on at least the circumference facing the filter element 500. The pipe body of the spray pipe 702 can be connected to the water supply port of the equipment through the water supply pipe 600, that is, the spray mechanism 700 is connected to the water supply pipe 600. The water supply pipe 600 can be a hose. The cleaning fluid enters the spray pipe 702 of the spray mechanism 700 through the water supply pipe 600, and is then sprayed onto the filter element 500 through the spray holes on the spray pipe 702 to clean the impurities attached to the filter element 500.

[0078] FIG9 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a spray mechanism arranged in an air outlet pipe in another embodiment, and FIG10 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the spray mechanism in FIG8 . In conjunction with FIG9 and FIG10 , the spray mechanism 700 includes a water inlet 701 and a spray pipe 702. The water inlet 701 can be arranged at the top of the air outlet pipe 402 and connected to the water supply port of the device via a water supply pipe 706 for conveying a cleaning fluid. The spray pipe 702 is arranged in the air outlet pipe 402 and is connected to the water inlet 701. In this way, the cleaning fluid received by the water inlet 701 can be conveyed into the spray pipe 702. The spray pipe 702 is located above the filter element 500. Spray holes 703 are provided on the circumference of the spray pipe 702. The cleaning fluid in the spray pipe 702 can be sprayed onto the filter element 500 through the spray pipe 702 to clean impurities attached to the filter element 500.

[0079] The shape of the spray pipe 702 is not limited and can be cylindrical, or a polyhedron (e.g., a tetrahedron, a hexahedron, an octahedron, etc.) or other shapes. The length of the spray pipe 702 is also not limited and can be designed accordingly based on the installation position of the filter element 500 and the length of the air outlet pipe 402.

[0080] In a specific implementation, the spray holes 703 may be opened on the circumference of the spray pipe 702 , or on the side of the spray pipe 702 facing the filter element 500 , which is not limited here.

[0081] Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the spray pipe of the spray mechanism shown in Figure 10, and Figure 12 is an exploded schematic diagram of Figure 11. In conjunction with Figures 10-12, the spray mechanism 700 may further include a water distributor 704 for directing the cleaning fluid into the spray pipe 702 and adjusting the flow rate and flow rate of the spray holes 703 on the spray pipe 702.

[0082] 10-12 , the water divider 704 includes a first water divider 7041 and a second water divider 7042. FIG13 shows a schematic structural diagram of the spray pipe of FIG11 with the first water divider removed. Referring to FIG10-13 , the first water divider 7041 is disposed on the water inlet 701 and is provided with a first through-hole 7043. The second water divider 7042 is disposed at the end of the spray pipe 702. The second water divider 7042 and the first water divider 7041 are rotatable. The second water divider 7042 is provided with at least one second through-hole 7044. Two or more second through-holes 7044 can be switchably connected to the first through-hole 7043 to adjust the flow rate and flow of the spray. During specific implementation, the cleaning fluid received by the water inlet 701 is guided to the spray pipe 702 through the first through hole 7043 of the first water dividing plate 7041 and the second through hole 7044 of the second water dividing plate 7042, and by adjusting the connecting area between the second through hole 7044 and the first through hole 7043, the flow rate and flow of the spray hole 703 on the spray pipe 702 are adjusted.

[0083] In one embodiment, the first water dividing plate 7041 can be a fixed plate, which is fixedly arranged on the water inlet 701, and the second water dividing plate 7042 can be a movable plate, which can rotate synchronously with the spray pipe 702. While the spray pipe 702 rotates, the connecting area between the second through hole 7044 and the first through hole 7043 can be adjusted to achieve the purpose of adjusting the flow rate and flow of the spray hole 703 on the spray pipe 702. For example, the flow rate and flow velocity of the cleaning fluid entering the spray pipe 702 can be reduced or increased.

[0084] In conjunction with Figure 11, a keyway 709 can be provided on the first water diversion piece 7041, the first water diversion piece 7041 is connected to the water inlet 701 through a key, a mounting sleeve 708 can be provided at the top of the spray hole 703, the second water diversion piece 7042 can be connected to the mounting sleeve 708 by interference fit or bolts, and a sealing gasket 707 can be provided between the second water diversion piece 7042 and the top of the spray hole 703 to improve the sealing effect of the two.

[0085] In other embodiments, the first water dividing plate 7041 and the second water dividing plate 7042 can also be switched between movable and fixed, that is, the first water dividing plate 7041 is a movable plate, which is rotatably set on the water inlet 701, and the second water dividing plate 7042 can be a fixed plate, which is fixed on the spray pipe 702. When the water inlet 701 rotates, the first water dividing plate 7041 adjusts the connecting area between the second through hole 7044 and the first through hole 7043 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the flow rate and flow of the spray hole 703 on the spray pipe 702.

[0086] Specifically, the area of ​​the first through hole 7043 accounts for 10%-90% of the area of ​​the first water diverter 7041. For example, the area of ​​the first through hole 7043 can be set to half or one-third of the area of ​​the first water diverter 7041. Two second through holes 7044 can be arranged opposite each other on the second water diverter. When the second water diverter 7042 moves relative to the first water diverter 7041, the second water diverter 7042 has at least a first position and a second position. In the first position, one of the second through holes 7044 and the first through hole 7043 have a projected area that overlaps in the axial direction of the spray pipe 702. The second position is where the other second through hole 7044 and the first through hole 7043 have a projected area that overlaps in the axial direction of the spray pipe 702. By varying the size of the overlapping projected area, the flow rate and flow rate of the spray holes 703 on the spray pipe 702 can be varied.

[0087] In a specific implementation, the first water diverter 7041 is fixed, while the second water diverter 7042 and the spray pipe 702 rotate synchronously at a first speed. When one of the second through holes 7044 rotates to a point where its projected area overlaps with that of the first through hole 7043, the cleaning fluid in the first through hole 7043 flows through it to the spray pipe 702. When the other second through hole 7044 rotates to a point where its projected area overlaps with that of the first through hole 7043, the cleaning fluid in the first through hole 7043 flows through it to the spray pipe 702.

[0088] In other embodiments, in the spray mechanism 700, the water divider 704 may only include a first water divider 7041, the first water divider 7041 is arranged on the water inlet 701, the first water divider 7041 is provided with a first through hole 7043, the spray pipe 702 and the water inlet 701 are rotatably connected, the spray pipe 702 and the water inlet 701 are connected through the first through hole 7043, and the relative rotation of the spray pipe 702 and the water inlet 701 is controlled to adjust the connecting area between the spray pipe 702 and the first through hole 7043, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the flow rate and flow of the spray hole 703 on the spray pipe 702.

[0089] In one embodiment, at least two water holes may be provided at the end of the spray pipe 702, and at least two water holes may be switchably connected to the first through hole 7043. When the spray pipe 702 rotates, the connection area between the water holes and the first through hole 7043 may be adjusted to achieve the purpose of adjusting the flow rate and flow of the spray hole 703 on the spray pipe 702. For example, the flow rate and flow velocity of the cleaning fluid entering the spray pipe 702 may be reduced or increased.

[0090] In another embodiment, a water hole can be provided at the end of the spray pipe 702, and the water hole and the first water dividing plate 7041 are eccentrically arranged. The water hole is a circular hole or a square hole. The water hole is connected to the first through hole 7043. When the spray pipe 702 rotates, the connection area between the water hole and the first through hole 7043 can also be adjusted to achieve the purpose of adjusting the flow rate and flow of the spray hole 703 on the spray pipe 702; or, the water hole and the first water dividing plate 7041 are coaxially arranged. At this time, the water hole can be a non-circular hole or a non-square hole, such as an elliptical, rectangular or trapezoidal hole, etc. When the spray pipe 702 rotates, the connection area between the water hole and the first through hole 7043 can also be adjusted to achieve the purpose of adjusting the flow rate and flow of the spray hole 703 on the spray pipe 702.

[0091] Figure 14 shows a schematic diagram of the spray pipe body of Figure 11. In conjunction with Figures 9-14, the spray pipe 702 has a hollow structure and is internally provided with a partition 705. The partition 705 divides the spray pipe 702 into spray sub-pipes corresponding to the second through-holes 7044. The second through-holes 7044 are located at the ends of the corresponding spray pipes 702, and each spray sub-pipe is provided with a spray hole 703 on its circumference. This allows the cleaning fluid flowing in through the second through-holes 7044 to enter only the corresponding spray sub-pipe and be sprayed onto the filter element 500 through the spray holes 703 on the circumference of the corresponding spray sub-pipe, thereby cleaning impurities adhering to the filter element 500.

[0092] In a specific implementation, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first through hole 7043 is smaller than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the corresponding spray branch pipe. For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second through hole 7044 accounts for 10%-90% of the cross-sectional area of ​​the corresponding spray branch pipe.

[0093] 9-14 , spray holes 703 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the spray pipe 702 on the wall of the spray branch pipe. These holes can be arranged in a row and / or a column, or in multiple rows and / or columns arranged neatly or staggered. In other embodiments, the spray holes 703 can be similar to the structure of a shower head, which is not limited here.

[0094] In one embodiment, along the axial direction of the spray pipe 702, the spray holes 703 on the pipe wall of each spray branch pipe can be staggered, that is, the spray holes 703 on the pipe wall of each spray branch pipe are not at the same horizontal height, so as to provide a larger spray area and improve the cleaning effect of the filter element 500.

[0095] 9 to 14 , the bottom end of the spray pipe 702 is closed, which is more conducive to the accumulation of the cleaning fluid in the spray pipe 702 and more convenient for achieving strong flushing of the filter element 500 to improve the cleaning effect of the filter element 500 .

[0096] The spray pipe 702 and the filter element 500 can be arranged roughly in parallel, and the distance between the spray pipe 702 and the filter element 500 is in the range of 0.4-1 cm, so that the cleaning fluid sprayed from the spray hole 703 is sprayed onto the filter element 500 at a suitable flow rate and flow rate to improve the cleaning effect of the filter element 500.

[0097] 8 , in one embodiment, a driving mechanism 800 is further provided in the housing 100 , and the output end of the driving mechanism 800 is connected to the spray mechanism 700 to drive the spray pipe 702 to rotate and / or move along the axial direction of the spray pipe 702 , thereby increasing the spraying area of ​​the spray pipe 702 so as to spray the cleaning fluid onto the filter element 500 as comprehensively as possible, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the filter element 500 .

[0098] In the first embodiment, the drive mechanism 800 is further configured to provide a driving force to drive the spray mechanism 700 to reciprocate in a specified direction. Driving the spray mechanism 700 to reciprocate in the specified direction to perform a spraying action can expand the spray range and increase the number of sprays applied to the same location on the filter element 500, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect on the filter element 500. The greater the maximum single-stroke travel distance of the spray mechanism 700 during reciprocal movement in the specified direction, the larger the spray range during the spraying action, the greater the number of reciprocating movements, and the more sprays applied to the same location on the filter element 500.

[0099] In the second embodiment, the drive mechanism 800 is further configured to provide a driving force for the spray mechanism 700 to reciprocate about its rotation axis. Driving the spray mechanism 700 to spray during rotation can expand the spray range. Multiple rotations can also increase the number of sprays, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect on the filter element 500. The greater the rotation angle of the spray mechanism 700, the larger the spray range during the spray operation. The greater the number of rotations, the more sprays are applied to the same location on the filter element 500.

[0100] In the third embodiment, the driving mechanism 800 is configured to simultaneously provide a driving force for driving the spray mechanism 700 to move back and forth in a specified direction and a driving force for driving the spray mechanism 700 to rotate back and forth around the rotation axis of the spray mechanism 700. In this way, the spray mechanism 700 is driven to rotate and spray the cleaning fluid while moving back and forth in the specified direction, thereby obtaining a larger spray range and greatly improving the cleaning level of the filter element 500.

[0101] In the fourth embodiment, the driving mechanism 800 is configured to first provide a driving force to drive the spray mechanism 700 to move back and forth in a specified direction, and then provide a driving force to drive the spray mechanism 700 to rotate back and forth around the rotation axis of the spray mechanism 700. In this way, a larger spray range can be obtained, which greatly improves the cleaning level of the filter element 500.

[0102] It should be added that the designated direction includes but is not limited to the length direction of the spray mechanism 700 , a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the spray mechanism 700 , and any other direction.

[0103] Specifically, the drive mechanism 800 can be arranged on the outside of the top end of the air outlet pipe 402, and can be a combination of one or more drive components to realize the rotation of the spray pipe 702 and / or the axial movement of the spray pipe 702. For example, when the spray pipe 702 rotates, the drive mechanism 800 can include a drive motor, which drives the spray pipe 702 to rotate through the rotation of the drive motor; when the spray pipe 702 moves along its axial direction, the drive mechanism 800 can include a linear motion mechanism, which can be a linear guide or a retractable motor, etc., which drives the spray pipe 702 to move through the linear motion mechanism; when the spray pipe 702 rotates and moves axially, the drive mechanism 800 can include a linear motion mechanism and a drive motor, which is arranged on the output part of the linear motion mechanism. The rotation of the spray pipe 702 can be driven by the drive motor, and the axial movement of the spray pipe 702 can be driven by the linear motion mechanism. The specific design can be based on actual conditions and will not be elaborated here.

[0104] In one embodiment, the spray holes 703 can be arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the spray pipe 702. When the spray pipe 702 moves along the axial direction of the spray pipe 702, the moving distance of the spray pipe 702 is greater than or equal to the minimum distance between two adjacent spray holes 703, so that the filter element 500 can be directly sprayed with the cleaning fluid in the axial direction of the spray pipe 702, thereby ensuring that the filter element 500 is cleaned more comprehensively.

[0105] In one embodiment, when the spray pipe 702 rotates, the rotation angle of the spray pipe 702 is 5°-45°, that is, the spray pipe 702 can reciprocate at a preset speed and a preset period. This can increase the spray area of ​​the spray pipe 702, thereby spraying the cleaning fluid onto the filter element 500 as comprehensively as possible, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the filter element 500. It should be noted that the rotation angle of the spray pipe 702 can be selected according to the different widths of the filter element 500.

[0106] The present invention can achieve spraying cleaning fluid covering more than 80% of the filter element 500 through the movement of the spray pipe 702, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the filter element 500 and having excellent practicality. In addition, the movement of the spray pipe 702 can be controlled by a panel disposed within the housing 100 or a mobile terminal, which is convenient to use.

[0107] Since the air outlet 202 of the clothing container 200 can be set on the rear side of the clothing container 200, in actual implementation, impurities on the filter element 500 will flow back into the clothing container 200 through the spray mechanism 700, which is not conducive to the cleaning of the interior of the clothing container 200 and the cleaning of the clothes in the clothing container 200. Based on this, the present disclosure further improves the position of the air outlet 202 of the clothing container 200.

[0108] Figure 15 shows a rear view of the clothing container in Figure 1, and Figure 16 shows a schematic diagram of the assembly of the air outlet duct and the clothing container. In conjunction with Figures 15 and 16, the air outlet 202 of the clothing container 200 is at least partially located below the inner drum in the horizontal projection direction, so that impurities on the filter element 500 flow to the area between the inner drum 206 and the outer drum 207 of the clothing container 200 and are then discharged through the drain port 208 of the clothing container 200. This reduces the amount of impurities on the filter element 500 flowing into the inner drum of the clothing container 200 through the air outlet 202, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the interior of the clothing container 200 and the cleaning of the clothes therein, thereby improving the cleanliness of the interior of the clothing container 200.

[0109] In conjunction with Figures 15 and 16 , in one embodiment, a specified proportion of the horizontal projection of the air outlet 202 is covered by the horizontal projection of the inner drum 206. Specifically, a portion of the horizontal projection of the air outlet 202 is located above the inner drum 206, while another portion is located below the inner drum 206. Due to gravity, water flowing out of the air outlet pipe 402 is partially discharged along the bottom of the air outlet 202, rather than all flowing into the inner drum 206. This, to a certain extent, reduces the impact of water entering the air outlet 202 on the laundry treatment effect in the inner drum 206. The specified proportion is greater than or equal to 20% and less than or equal to 50%, for example, greater than or equal to 30% and less than or equal to 70%. Of course, the specified proportion can be any percentage that meets the actual drainage requirements of the air outlet 202 and the laundry treatment requirements of the inner drum 206, and is not limited to the above example.

[0110] 15 and 16 , the air outlet 202 of the clothing container 200 is arranged at the bottom end of the rear side of the clothing container 200, that is, the air outlet 202 is arranged at the bottom of the area between the inner drum 206 and the outer drum 207 of the clothing container 200, so as to further reduce the impurities on the filter element 500 from flowing into the inner drum of the clothing container 200 through the air outlet 202, thereby improving the cleanliness of the interior of the clothing container 200.

[0111] In another embodiment, the air outlet 202 is entirely located below the inner drum 206 along the horizontal projection direction. When water is discharged from the air outlet 202, its flow path is completely below the inner drum 206 and has no possibility of entering the inner drum 206, which can maximize the protection of the clothing treatment effect.

[0112] Figure 17 shows a schematic diagram of the interior of the air outlet pipe. Referring to Figure 17 , the air outlet pipe 402 may be provided with a water guide 900. The water guide 900 is at least partially positioned below the filter element 500 and extends in the direction of the airflow. The side of the air outlet pipe 402 proximal to the water guide 900 communicates with the drain port 208 provided on the outer cylinder 207. In one embodiment, the top of the water guide 900 is positioned below the filter element 500 and extends in the direction of the airflow. The water guide 900 is provided on the outer cylinder 207 and extends toward the air outlet pipe 402. Alternatively, the water guide 900 is provided on the air outlet pipe 402 and extends toward the outer cylinder 207. During actual use, the spray mechanism 700 works to clean the impurities in the filter 500, and the cleaned impurities enter the water guide 900 along with the sprayed cleaning fluid. Since the cleaning fluid has a boundary effect, at least part of the cleaning fluid will move along the side of the water guide 900 away from the air outlet, and then be discharged through the drain port 208, so as to prevent the cleaning fluid from entering the inner drum 206 through the peripheral surface of the inner drum 206 to a certain extent, causing a phenomenon that is not conducive to the cleaning of the interior of the clothing container 200 and the cleaning of the clothes in the clothing container 200.

[0113] In a specific implementation, the side of the water guide 900 facing the filter 500 may have a certain curvature and may be assembled inside the outer cylinder 207 by integral molding or snap-fit ​​connection, which is not limited here.

[0114] Figure 18 shows a schematic diagram illustrating the location of an air outlet according to one embodiment of the present application. In conjunction with Figure 18 , the laundry treatment apparatus further includes a drain member 1000 , which is in communication with the air outlet 202 . After cleaning fluid flushes the filter element 500 , it flows from the air outlet 202 to the drain member 1000 and is discharged through the drain member 1000 . The arrows in Figure 18 indicate the drainage path of the cleaning fluid. The drain member 1000 may include the portion of the laundry treatment apparatus through which the cleaning fluid flows from the air outlet 202 until it is discharged.

[0115] 18 , the drainage member 1000 may include a water heating portion 1001, which may be a heating pipe. The water heating portion 1001 is assembled between the outer tub 207 and the inner tub 206 via the mounting opening 205 on the end surface of the outer tub 207. A drainage port 208 is provided on the outer tub 207 and communicates with the drainage member 1000. After cleaning fluid rinses the filter element 500, it flows directly from the air outlet 202 to the drainage member 1000 and is then discharged through the drainage port 208 on the outer tub 207 without flowing into the inner tub 206. This ensures that the laundry treatment effect of the inner tub 206 is not affected by the cleaning fluid used to rinse the filter element 500.

[0116] 18 , the clothing processing apparatus further includes a liquid collecting member 1100. The drain port 208 is disposed on the liquid collecting member 1100. The liquid collecting member 1100 is disposed below the air outlet 202 and is connected to the drain member 1000. After cleaning fluid flushes the filter element 500, it flows from the air outlet 202 to the liquid collecting member 1100, then flows from the liquid collecting member 1100 to the drain member 1000 before being discharged. The drain member 1000 includes the portion of the clothing processing apparatus through which the cleaning fluid flows from the liquid collecting member 1100 to the drain member 1000. The liquid collecting member 1100 receives and buffers the cleaning fluid flowing from the air outlet duct 402, preventing the cleaning fluid from leaking out of the clothing processing apparatus.

[0117] 18 , the liquid discharge port 208 and the liquid collecting member 1100 are both disposed on the outer cylinder 207 , and the liquid collecting member 1100 is in communication with the liquid discharge port 208 .

[0118] Figure 19 shows a schematic diagram of the control relationship of a controller according to an embodiment of the present application. In conjunction with Figure 19 , the laundry processing device further includes a controller 1200 , which is connected to the water supply line 600 and the spray mechanism 700 and is configured to control the water supply line 600 to supply cleaning fluid to the spray mechanism 700 and to control the spray mechanism 700 to supply cleaning fluid to the filter element 500 . The cleaning fluid then flows through the filter element 500 and is discharged through the air outlet 202 .

[0119] FIG20 shows a schematic diagram of a control relationship of a controller according to another embodiment of the present application. In conjunction with FIG20 , the driving mechanism 800 is also connected to the controller 1200 and is configured to provide a driving force for driving the spray mechanism 800 to move based on a liquid supply instruction from the controller 1200 .

[0120] FIG21 shows a schematic diagram of the control relationship of a controller according to another embodiment of the present application. In conjunction with FIG21 , the controller 1200 further includes an instruction receiving unit 1201, an information processing unit 1202, and a command sending unit 1203. The instruction receiving unit 1201 is configured to receive a laundry processing instruction; the information processing unit 1202 is configured to determine whether the laundry processing instruction is a laundry processing mode including a drying process; and the command sending unit 1203 is configured to send a first control instruction and a second control instruction when the laundry processing instruction is a laundry processing mode including a drying process. The first control instruction is configured to control the water supply pipeline 600 to supply cleaning fluid to the spray mechanism 700 and to control the spray mechanism 700 to supply cleaning fluid to the filter element 500. The second control instruction is configured to control the laundry processing water supply pipeline of the laundry processing device to supply water to the laundry container 200 via the laundry treatment agent box of the laundry processing device after supplying the cleaning fluid to the filter element 500.

[0121] Specifically, if the clothing processing mode indicated by the clothing processing instruction includes drying processing, it means that the filter element 500 is needed during the operation of the clothing processing mode to filter out the dander and impurities generated by the drying processing. Therefore, the filter element 500 needs to be cleaned before running the clothing processing mode to remove the impurities and dander on the filter element 500 and improve the drying effect under the clothing processing mode.

[0122] Based on this, when the laundry treatment instruction is for a laundry treatment mode including a drying process, the controller 1200 may issue a first control instruction to control the water supply pipeline 600 to supply liquid to the spray mechanism 700 and control the spray mechanism 700 to rinse the filter 500. After the filter 500 is cleaned, the laundry treatment mode may enter its formal water supply phase. Specifically, the controller 1200 may issue a second control instruction to control the laundry treatment water supply pipeline to supply water via the laundry treatment agent box to the laundry container 200. The water supply to the laundry container 200 via the laundry treatment agent box also serves to rinse the laundry treatment agent box. If the laundry treatment agent box contains laundry treatment agent, the laundry treatment agent can be flushed into the laundry container 200, thereby dispensing the laundry treatment agent.

[0123] In one embodiment, upon detecting the completion of the drying process, the controller 1200 may send a liquid supply instruction to the water supply pipe 600. This liquid supply instruction causes the water supply pipe 600 to supply cleaning fluid to the spray mechanism 700 for a first specified time period, thereby causing the spray mechanism 700 to perform a cleaning operation on the filter element 500 for the first specified time period, thereby cleaning the dried filter element 500. The first specified time period may be 10 seconds, 15 seconds, or 20 seconds, or any other time period that meets the actual cleaning requirements of the filter element 500, and is not limited to the examples provided herein.

[0124] In one embodiment, upon detecting a laundry treatment instruction, the controller 1200 may send a liquid supply instruction to the water supply line 600. This liquid supply instruction causes the water supply line 600 to supply cleaning fluid to the spray mechanism 700 for a second specified duration before laundry treatment. The spray mechanism 700 can then perform a cleaning operation on the filter element 500 for the second specified duration, thereby pre-cleaning the filter element 500 and improving the laundry treatment effect. The laundry treatment instruction may include at least an instruction to perform a drying process. The second specified duration may be 10 seconds, 15 seconds, or 20 seconds, or any other duration that meets the actual cleaning requirements of the filter element 500, and is not limited to the examples provided in this application.

[0125] In one embodiment, upon detecting a laundry treatment instruction, a liquid supply instruction may be sent to the water supply line 600. This liquid supply instruction causes the water supply line 600 to supply cleaning fluid to the spray mechanism 700 for a second specified duration before laundry treatment. The spray mechanism 700 can then perform a cleaning operation on the filter element 500 for the second specified duration, thereby pre-cleaning the filter element 500 and improving the laundry treatment effect. Subsequently, upon executing the laundry treatment instruction to complete laundry treatment, a liquid supply instruction may be sent to the water supply line 600. This liquid supply instruction causes the water supply line 600 to supply cleaning fluid to the spray mechanism 700 for a first specified duration. The spray mechanism 700 can then perform a cleaning operation on the filter element 500 for the first specified duration, thereby cleaning the filter element 500 after laundry treatment. The laundry treatment instruction may include at least an instruction to perform a drying process. Upon executing the laundry treatment instruction to complete laundry treatment, the liquid supply instruction may be sent to the water supply line 600, including: upon detecting completion of the drying process, sending the liquid supply instruction to the water supply line 600.

[0126] In summary, the clothing processing equipment provided by the present invention can reduce the space occupied by the clothing processing equipment, and can realize automatic cleaning of the filter element in the air outlet duct through the setting of the spray mechanism. It can also prevent the cleaning fluid carrying the flushed hair and impurities from flowing into the inner drum, reducing the impact of the filter cleaning on the clothing processing effect, and has good practicality.
